Everyday!

Every Day!

Enthusiasm gone, motivation also shattered,
Giving up was imminent, life! It didn't even matter.
I've worked so hard to get outta prison,
but it didn't happen. Now, I regret all of those decisions.
Said goodbye to my mom but not to my dad,
all I can do is express my feelings on this pad.
Heartache scares me like a monster on Halloween
Can never forgive myself nor can I wipe the slate clean.
Everything I do, I'm doing in my parents' name.
Pick myself up and stop putting all the blame.
On myself, look at the big picture and stop with the shame.
Mom, it's hard! 'Cause I hate what I became.
I wanted to be great but you still can
trust in God first and never rely on man.
If you have faith the size of a mustard seed,
You can do anything, pick up your Bible and read,
and take heed. Let no one put you down.
You're a king! You've already been handed your crown.
Do what you need to do to be better than great.
People wanna see you fail because you're an inmate.
They think you won't be able to walk the line straight.
It's a cold world out there and it's filled up with hate.
Always remember, my son, don't forget to pray.
Everything you do, I'm with you every day!
