Life of growth
I called quits when you were my coach
You never put me on the bench I chose to take that seat
Comparing myself to others not knowing I was only playing against me
But I was in to deep to see that sea had not was washed up on me
You Waited for me
To see the sun that I had inside me
I lost my dad at 11 like it took time from me
No time to sleep
Resting in my grief
My doubts grabbed a hold me
Choking me til my world felt like my sea had been covered in cement
11 years old it has to be away out
I can’t gamble on my sanity I can’t focus on way out I’m in play offs
God don’t give your more than you can bare so I had to grow out of my pain
A fatherless child became reality
struggling with depression I had to get
That demon out me
one on one against myself hard beat the challenges
But you waited for me
To see the sun I had inside of me
I battled with depression thinking God what is your lesson?
Then I realized I power of healing inside me turned out your son was the only light the lead me from my darkness
I held on pain knowing you were my only option until I gave in
Giving my life to God was the best option
So I got back in the game and I kept on fighting
I saw the light inside of me so I had to keep going
I’m plant that cracked the cement
Y’all see my limbs they blooming
This is not a game this not game of competition it’s the life growth
