Mindset...

 

Time is taking a tour of my life,

These days keep passing me by,

Trying to figure why,

And where my destination lies,

God, please hear these cries,

I don't want to loose,

Or be confused -my rules I want to bend,

I want to improve, my body and strength,

Be who I want to be, even if I can't,

I don't need ignorant people to make me understand,

I just want to use my knowledge,

Go to college,

Make my mom's proud of me and show her what I've accomplished,

Before I vanish from a world that's trying to take advantage --of me,

That's why I cry to thee,

So please Lord, Help me,

Lead me to the road that Aisha and Mariama went,

Lead me to the road that the prophets were sent,

Please --I'm here on my knees, beggin',

Praying to you every day that I can,

So that I can be the one promised to go to heaven,

I try soo hard, not to be too far,

Pray for those that live in a world of scar,

Those innocent Muslims behind the bar,

Send them help to survive the war,

See they show mercy-when Tsunami hits innocent victims,

But I guess it's different -when you're killing -innocent Muslims,

My rhymes --last like chronic,

I vomit --every time I hear politics

So this I skip,

Matter fact,

F--- it,

This world is so corrupted,

Its ignorant people and their dumb sh*t,

Though I wished I could have changed it,

I can't take it,

But I hope I can make it. (difference)

I really enjoyed it. I like the way you changed it up. In the beginning you were someone who seemed very pious, trying hard to please God, then in the end you show us your weakness, making the speaker sound hopeless which made it more real, someone i can identify with.

I couldn't disagree you. That is a wonderful piece of writing! Exactly what I feel sometimes.

Keep it up! and keep them coming.
