IT’S EATING AT ME, by Anthony L. Waters

poetry:

the prosecutor was upset because I looked happy,
the judge asked me could I read and then threw the book at me,
they did everything they could to break me,
never could they shake me cause I knew they hate me.

its eating at me,
because I threw rocks at the chain gang,
just to make a name,
under the cover of darkness was my pain,
hear no evil,see no evil,
I keep my mouth shut I never said a thing,
I seen a gangstas turn into a choir boys,
never knew dude had vocals until he ass started to sang,
I lost people I called family to the game.

now its eating at me,
the one who I loved the most,
she faded away to soon,
some days I feel like I’m trapped on the moon.

its eating at me,
like them cold ass stares thats stareing at me,
friends say they got me,
but is they trying to trap me,
my desire filled with vengeance,
cause me to question the things that can be forgiving,
even though I’m driven.

its eating at me,
how I was blind for so long and I didn’t know until now it was wrong,
I was hurting my own,
my vision blurry I’m in a hurry to flourish,
I’ve grown to see things for my own,
any man without sin please cast the first stone,
can u hear the passion in my tone.

its eating at me,
bitterness in my heart got people testing me,
I’m above my higher self so this is less to me.

u said u would never leave but then times got hard,
I lost faith in myself but kept praying to God,
for u I gave u my life anybody could got robbed.

it eating at me,
cause I never thought to hear the words good by,
I never thought I would be left here to die,
by the one I seen tears swell up in her eyes.

every position that appears may not be for that man,
but every man born got a purpose,
if u not willing to die for someone u love,
then why u are living your love is worthless.

YOU’VE PASSED THE MOST DIFFICULT TEST WHEN THE MAN IN THE GLASS IS YOUR FRIEND.SO IF U DONT FOCUS ON YOUR DREAMS THEN SOMEONE WILL HIRE U TO HELP BUILD THEIRS.(smile)

Peace to the true and living
