I AM YOU

I am you; the voice of the people praying fervently yearning for change
I am you a troubled soul with so many questions to ask in need of answers
I am you; another misconstrued being considered an outcast coz I act strange
I am you; in pains afflicted with a pernicious disease that kills me slowly like cancer  
I am you; I’m addicted to many bad habits every day I struggle hard to quit
I am you; I don’t trust anybody coz I’ve being betrayed & can’t no longer take shit
I am you; I need some true love & affection but it seems nobody is willing to give
I am you; sometimes I wonder why we’re all here, the essence of our being alive  
I am you; I feel life is worthless and so unfair coz nobody really cares about me
I am you; I feel like I’m cursed living a pitiful life in a state that makes me feel sober
I am you; I struggle hard to overcome my low self esteem it’s sad you can’t see
I am you; I’m scared of what tomorrow may bring I live my life everyday like it’s my last
I am you; confined in a solitary state living in torment, life is hell’ I just wanna break free
I am you; a wretched soul who can’t find glee coz I’m haunted by sad events from my past
I am you; a stranger in this world, grew up in a foster home I have no trace of my pedigree
I am you; I was abused and molested by someone whom I trusted when I was just a child
I am you; I live with the trauma and stigmatization for being a victim of such a vile crime
I am you; I cry silently in pains it seems nobody understands my plight, it drives me wild
I am you; I feel an anguish of being hapless when my rights are trampled upon all time
I am you; the common man whom our leaders impoverish by their corruption and greed
I am you; who is forced to rebel against Impunity ready to die fighting for what is rightly mine
I am you; who makes sacrifices for others but whom nobody reciprocates it to, when in need
I am you; I feel life is a race I’ve being running it facing her challenges all I want is a finish line
I am you; who is never scared to speak out his mind with fury I write it makes my pen bleed
I am you; I was born without a silver spoon but got myself polished from the dirt ready to shine
I am you; I believe in fairness & equality for all knowing every man will be judged by his deeds
I am you; someone who is resilient against all odds, still determined and focused to succeed
I am you; so don’t feel like you are alone, we all go through different trails in life for real
Be hopeful & grateful for the gift of life; somebody out here cares & shares just how you feel
