I have big plans and greater dreams I aim so far but land so short. Yet when I try, I seem to fail, and when I reach I seem to fall.  I never asked for all of this, of life, of love, of pain and strife. Becoming man is it all to life. I love the one I cannot reach, yet does she know that I exist, but even those who do know me, I never ever seem to please. I do what’s right with all I can and try to follow my God’s plan but even then it never fails, for me to trip and fall again.

My life’s been rocked and tossed around, from life of street to life of “son”, from life alone to life of home, from fear of death to fear of life. Been given much, yet something’s missing, for a shadowed heart a darkened soul seems to be the only things in control. I have big plans and greater dreams, although I aim and land so short, I plan to stand, dust of my shorts, and set to leap in faith again.
