Can you not see the pain in my eyes
My tears are flowing my heart is aching but all you see is my smile and laughter
I laughed and joked but only to conceal the reality of my day to day struggles
My rough childhood had many sleepless nights with no food to eat or clothes to wear.
No gifts to look forward to when Christmas or birthdays came
Over hear cries from my mom
when she couldn't pay the bills
Living meal to meal instead of check to check
Growing up in the projects is where the streets raised me
On the corner slanging was the only way to live
Praying and hoping that I survive to see another day
Rejoicing the day music found me
Wouldn't be able to breathe without it
Being able to voice my anger and pain
Only made stronger in life
So before you judge and point your fingers
Take a look in the mirror and reflect on your life
Make sure u cherish each and every moment
Because I'll never forget the struggles I went through.....
