Sometimes I want to scream FUCK MY LIFE
I didn't invite all of this turmoil & strife
Rife in my life has been heartache & pain
Gotta make conscious efforts to stay sane
My brain can only contain but so much
To remain in the game, poetry's my crutch
Wanna reach out & touch in a violent way
Today I found out granddad passed away
People may say that he's in a better place
lf that's the case, why should I stay in the race?
"Take it to the face!" is what Father Time has said
Just 7 months ago I was told my mom was dead
COVID took her out, at least that's what I was told
I keep playing my hand even though I want to fold
7 years ago, Grandma passed away
It was then ideations came to play
Decided to stay; daughter was the reason why
5 months ago, parental rights went bye-bye
Painted as a bad guy and the judge believed it
Her bitter ass mother fed them some bullshit
Didn't have shit to do with me being a father
It boiled down to that I couldn't stand her
Answered honestly when asked how I feel
Judge didn't like it and decided to steal
Life will reveal just how strong you can be
When strong's all that you know how to be
Psyche's stranded at sea without a life raft
Guess this is destiny as I reach the aft
I didn't invite all of this turmoil & strife
Rife in my life has been heartache & pain
Gotta make conscious efforts to stay sane
My brain can only contain but so much
To remain in the game, poetry's my crutch
Wanna reach out & touch in a violent way
Today I found out granddad passed away

Sorry for your loss bro. I know what it's like to lose grandparents and my mom. My mom died about a year ago. I have no grandparents left

My condolences sir. I can't begin to imagine what you're going through. I hope that the love you show your daughter will create a more beautiful bond when she's older and she understands more.
