MY ROAD AT TIMES, SEEMS ENDLESS
BUT I CAN SAY I’VE LIVED
I’VE CHERISHED THE SMALL THINGS
AND HAVE REACHED FOR WHAT’S BIG
SOME DAYS I AM READY
TO LAY IT ALL DOWN
BUT MOST DAYS I’VE REJOICED
IN THE DRIVE I HAVE FOUND, IN ME
AND IF YOU COULD REFLECT ON MY HISTORY ~ YOU’D SEE
THAT YOU CAN’T JUDGE A PERSON
ON HOW THEY LOOK
I’VE HAD ADVENTURES, THAT COULD MAKE A GOOD BOOK
I’VE HAD HEAVY SORROWS
THAT HAVE TRIED TO CAPTURE MY SOUL
AND HAVE SURVIVED THROUGH HEARTBREAK
THAT COULD NEVER BE TOLD IN A POEM
BUT NOW I AM A WOMAN
NO LONGER A GIRL
WHO FEELS THERE ARE MANY GOOD THINGS
I HAVE LEFT TO SHOW THIS WORLD ~ ABOUT ME
FOR JOY IS NEEDED, LIKE THE AIR WE BREATHE
AND SOMETIMES THE FUTURE NEEDS, THE PAST YOU SEE
IN ORDER TO SHINE
SO IF I COULD HELP ONE PERSON, BY SHARING MY GRIND
THEN THAT’S WHAT IS
WITHOUT THE SUGAR DADDY’S AND MR. BIGGS’S
TRYING TO SAY THEY HELPED THIS BOSS
FOR I DID THIS, I’VE PAID THE COST
I’VE AT TIMES GAMBLED….AND YES I’VE LOST
BUT I AM HERE
WITH LAUGHTER, JOY, PAIN, HURT & TEARS
BECAUSE I AM ALIVE
AND I’M SO GLAD…I KNOW HOW TO SURVIVE
I KNOW HOW TO GROW
I KNOW THAT MY WORK
WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW…REAL TALK
BECAUSE I’VE REALIZED TO GET HERE
I’VE HAD TO CRAWL BEFORE I COULD WALK
LEARN, BEFORE I SHOULD TALK
I MEAN …MY ROAD SOMETIMES SEEMS ENDLESS
BUT IN ORDER TO GAIN
I HAD TO UNDERSTAND
THE JOY AND THE PAIN WITH EVERY STRIDE
AND WIPE THE TEARS THAT FELL FROM MY EYES
KEEPING IT GOING
MAKING A GOAL AND KNOWING
“I’M GETTING IT...I’M NOT JUST GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT,
I’M GOING TO GET IT”
