Everyday……

Everyday I wake up to another drama,
It’s a wonder that I’m alive surviving this stress and trauma.
If I could just hold on to my personal life just a little longer,
I could be stronger.
Everyday is so full of {edit},
I can’t take it,
It’s me listening to my baby’s momma complaining and {edit},
Its jealous Thomasville guys complaining and being jealous
Threatening to kill me and steal from me and (edit),
And to top it off her family is yelling at me telling me I aint {edit},
I can’t handle this {edit}.
Its ridiculous, better yet it’s (edit) near depressing,
2 jobs, bills, and a kid, don’t ask me why im stressing.
Can you relate?????????????
20, and I can’t predict my fate.
Feeling like my world is upside down, people ask me why my facial expressions express depression.
Sorry but I had a messed up year,
Fear, tears, and bad peers, but on the bright side I had a son that I love sincere.
It’s a disgrace that I can’t keep my child at my place,
Not since FEB. 10th has he been in my space,
Its like my son is in a glass case and all I got is Windex and paper towels to clean the glass to see his face … a little clearer,
I look in the mirror.. My reflection.. Worn down, beat up and battered,
Once again I gave my heart to a stranger on a platter,
Pieces of my broken heart all over the house splattered.
The flames of madness and anger are raging.. No fire department could put them out.
Everyday I wake up to the same old {edit}, I wish for once… just once…
It could be something different, but it isn’t…..

I likes...I can't put it into more words.
Tight as usual.

As my borough has always stated- Do or Die.

I edited out the language you are aware is not allowed. Please refrain from curse words or **** to replace them. Your point comes through clear without them. Thank you, SEA

Ghostwriter, I hope you take time to go back and rephrase what SEA has had to edit out.  Your work can stand alone, without the use of vulgarisms...

you ARE that good...
