| Scar Tissue
There could have been many roads taken to today Ignorance Foolishness Selfishness greed Being like the mass lost living it all away Partying Freaking Working Bleeding But the choice to be free out weighted settling to me So I suffered Cried Pulled away from all lies Sought out meaning for this meaningless life Got cut Broken Emotionally and spiritually scarred Developed a tough skin to stand up to worldly shrapnel shards Hurt Pain I also lost shame Became of voice of national treason spraying off Reason Righteousness Truth above False Made my way out of a pathless direction Discovered focus My compass To my reachable expectations With battery to my ego, will and pride Grew extra battle armor And kept resurrecting A hopeful perception Walking through Racial tornados Poverty floods Depression earthquakes As well as many loneliness cave ins To find my road in humanity disasters Standing out and stronger Wearing my scar tissue Cutting through the wind As I head my way To liberation Jalili B.
