I wear black everyday

Everyday I wear black
Not by choice, but by accident
But why is that
I'm going through my dark stages
Where my feelings are trapped in cages
My wardrobe reflects how I feel

From my shoes, to my hoodie
My shirt, to my pants
All black at a glance

What Ifs

What if I stayed in the hood and grew up in the projects?
What if my dad married my mother?
What if I concentrated on basketball when I was younger?
What if I my if my uncles and aunt had children?
What if my step dad stopped drinking?
What if I decided to go to another HS?
What if I didn't go to college?
What if I didn't switch majors?
What if I didn't help my friends with their school work?
What if I didn't tutor students?
What if I didn't fall in love?
What if I had children while I was in school?
What if we didn't split up?
What if me and the girl I fell for go somewhere and live together?
What if ....What if....?
How many people lives would I affect had these actions occurred?
Everyone one's personal decision and outcomes has an affect on each other
We are interconnected like the lines of a telephone
Like the nerves system in our body
Nothing is guaranteed, we are a living Russian roulette

I tell you bout this girl who puts a move on my heart

She put me under some anesthetics as she operated on my heart

All the pain I endured has disappeared

Nothing can mess with me now

High off her chemicals, laughing nonstop, smiling like a Chestire cat

Conjoined together as if we were one mobile contraption

Moving in opposite directions like a game of tug of war

Neither one of us never wanting to let go

Going too fast like a speeding freight train

But weren't on the same track

We had to split before we suffer a severe wreck

Pleasurable experiences shared together

Now miserable agony suffices

Moments of time when everything is cool and flowing the right way

But now the chemicals are wearing off Doc

The pain is flowing in with no mercy

I felt a deep void in my body with sharp pains

Someone has put a move on my heart and now I feel the after affects

Things don't make sense anymore

So now I expect the worse from anyone I come across

Nothing lasts forever, the anesthetics will soon stop

Pessimistic outlook on life, with my best strength defeated

The strength of having patience to overcome the impossible

Recovery mode initiated with God as my personal trainer
