Flawless


I woke up to a new day

Hoping my demons will go away

But only God can see my struggle

listening to a black man's trouble.

My family gave me the life I needed

in order for me to succeed in it

But I chose to live in solitary

because the whole world thinks this a commentary

I hold no grudge against my peers

A man with few words; i don't shed a tear

There's no such things as being flawless

if we all have skeletons in our closets

But I pray for peace

so all the pain can cease

and for my inner self release

Until that day comes

As long as i have pieces of gum

I still rise over the rest

because God made me as one of the best

So if anyone says you're not flawless

be cautious

Always be humble

and never look back to stumble
