Part 1 (the pain I went through)

 

the ways that you all treated me

in the past, sits in the bottle 

on the mainland.

The people who once had me, 

double crossed me, bullying

me, calling me names.

I see the person you will 

be you’ll sink in the sand like

an anchor in the waves pulling

fiercely.

 

It didn’t matter too me, 

the way you played me

my emotions had much meaning

and still none of you all cared.

the names on the list,

underlined and pictures ripped

I forgot y’all in a glimpse.

 

I knew I was an angel

And my reputation had to be protected,

Look Who’s all just catching on?

but you all still don’t understand?

While I’ve been meditating and focusing

you all have been falling.

Doing things your parents wouldn’t

catch you doing?

Remember you told me everything 

to bad it’s so hard to even try erasing.

 

I have so much things to say

you can’t put tape over 

this mouth now!

too all the people

 who put me through pain

I thank you everyday, 

I wouldn’t know how to 

get stronger.. sometimes

I examine your little games,

but in the end it has no 

meaning, it’s all dead too me.

 

I took a shovel and buried

my negativity it says “it’s dead too me”

not once did you care about my 

personality you all were using me

for bait, I got pulled into the 

whirlpool and drowned underneath 

the water.. my lungs collapsing

my Reputation dying, each time

I gave chances you all break

your promises.

 

My Reputation was no secret

each year I found a new friend

And still my mission has a reason..

The tools that my enemies took

from the shed, they kept hitting

me in my head..

 

 

Part 2 (Forgiveness I See Peace)

 

A new year I see

my best friends,

There running with me to 

The finish line.

I can see my acquaintances

In the stands booing me till the end

no matter there shadows

that have no meaning.

 

Blessed to be myself again

No more dragging my feet

in the sand, 

no more getting

tricked in trance,

I’ve finally found my true friends.

Who will fight with me to the end.

 

My Reputation is saved

My personality is contagious like

a disease, I love everybody 

brings me peace

the lord gives to me,

I fought my way through

conquered the lion that sits

in my heart. 

I fight for what is right

Because positivity is my light.

 

My Reputation is my Identity 

Just like my personality..

Don’t come after me,

Once I’m flying the sky

you’ll never catch up too

me.

Thank you to the ones

Who stayed loyal since

the beginning.
