By LeVar E. Jones C 2013

I'm tired of going to sleep, and having bad dreams,
I'm not supposed to wake up screaming, thinking 'bout bad things.
My life is mixed up, it's like I'm going through loops,
It's like I'm in a war, and been abandoned by my troops.
Feel like a baby bird, that was kicked out of the nest,
Learning to fly for the first time, trying to do my best
Fell to rock bottom, I've crapped out, nothing left to bet,
My eyes are heavy from crying, and my pillow stays wet.
My life feels like a game, or some type of joke,
Because people think it's funny walking around broke.
My life feels crowded, like a packed Amtrak train,
Feels too heavy carrying cargo, like a Southwest airplane.
My life used to be good, and then it felt I was blind,
Even though I seen the light I kept falling every time.
My life's been tested, but I don't see peace,
Joy has dispersed, like bullets in these wicked streets.
I tried to look deep down, and cleanse my heart,
Tangled like a ball of yarn, and wouldn't know where to start.
That's how my life is, I feel it's all wasted,
And fear of death and freedom are so close, I can almost taste it.
Worrying about money, losing nothing but weight,
Eating things around me, not knowing how to gain faith.
It's like a baseball game with 3 balls and 2 strikes,
This is some things, I've summed up about my life.
