It's My Vent


This year I took myself by surprise But years ago my brother died before I said goodbye I still feel emotions and unbreakable tides Still, hear the cries and the unthinkable lies my lines are therapy for me Copes with me They forever will live with me Do You think this is a perfect me When I write I am in a good place But I’m back down again When fake friends show who they are They lash down and then When they read they say they are caring They are really not These pages are full of emotion They say it’s not a lot Thanks a lot Cause you help put this message on how I feel That when people don’t believe in you And say you ain’t real See I wonder Do you care for me just for the lack of defenses Or you care for me just for the percentage It’s not about my writing level It’s the real level Like I said this ain’t from a school kid It’s from a real kid So get your lenses And forget the percentage If it’s real I meant it If it’s not I never said it So to the fakers out there Who never cares Take that mask off And stop cutting downstairs Well if it’s that deep You got some problems yourself But hurting others for help Never Helps You will learn when someone like you bring you down to hell

See alot of people get confused on why I do this. It something that personally helps me aswell. God gave me this gift a powerful gift as an outlet. Thats what writing is for me. When emotion flies over me this is where I go. It's what I call Real writing. It's a therapy for me.
