Trajadies and Inspirations

 

  At four years of age abandoned by a father,

never been to a game never tried to be bothered.

He went and started a new family and that's what they offered,

while the mother and children faltered.

 

  At five I was told to sit in the back,

I thought it was cool, but I didn't know it was because I was black.

At twelve, I was attacked, 

and got in trouble, because I fought back.

 

 For years I saw mom being beating,

worried about what were going to be eating.

I never hated my father for leaving,

cause I never knew his lies where deciveing.

 

 As I got older I realized it's time to do my part,

lead my mother and never fall apart.

I realized I was gifted from the start,

even though I felt like I was stabbed in the heart.

 

 God had made me smart, and I was the only black kid,

he favored me and for what I did,

Whenever I was afraid and I hid,

he gave me life with a simple bid.

 

  Feburary 20, 2018 my mother died,

I wasn't there to help her no matter how hard I tried

There was pain, anger, and guilt in my eyes

That I thought that I to should die.

 

 Weeks had passed and I went to her crash site,

and then God reavealed a new light.

That he gave my mother a new life, 

and didn't have to die in spite.

 

At my mother's memorial 700 people came,

then I realized how many lives she changed.

That if I do what she did not for the fame,

that I can do what she did just the same.

 

I never needed my father, and I'm seventeen

because I can do all things who strengthens me.

I knew hell is not where I'd be,

because they nailed him to a tree.

 

With him I'll fly i'll never land,

and now it's our time to take a stand.

I follow him that's my only plan,

and now I know what it takes to be a man.
