Mistakes and Challenges


I got a big heart my mind tries to abandon me;
Paused in vanity panicking over the loss of my sanity;
Saved by one nerve holding everything together substantially
As a voice keeps rambling,I'll make you a deal if you hand it to me;
Will I grow from this or not, guess I'll find out If i plant the seeds;
I'll be damned if I cast away the thing linking me with humanity:
Brain scrambling blood staining my hands crying on knees;
I just wanted to be loved, guess that's what I get for gambling;
It's hard moving forward when you're getting knocked back randomly;
Frantically searching for the answers as far as a woman's eye can see;
I done traveled through hell across lands n seas:
Just to find out I'm already the woman I hoped and planned to be;
Your own true friend and enemy, can it be;
Damnably looking down on myself laughing manically like what kind of a woman is she;
Not understanding I'm the reason life hands what it hands me;
Talk bout biting the hand that feeds.
