I Respect the Struggle...

I was up lastnite writing [as i do every night it seems like] about all types of shit. I found myself writing about the struggle tho, it was one of those moments where you just let the pen and your hand run thru the paper, after your hand gets tired you read over what u got and HOPE its something worth sharing. Funny part is I still don't think its worth sharing even after i made it into a poem and gave it a title [LoL]. But I say what the hell I'll let the readers be the judge!

"Keep in mind that I'm sensitive about my shit!"--Badu

I Respect the struggle

I Strive to prevail

I try to stop wondering what’s fake or real.

I Respect the hustle

I can not fail I’m on my feet

letting my spirit set sail.

I Respect the hard times

For what they are worth

They teach me a lot but they indeed do hurt.

I Respect the real and ignore the fake

The fake will take what I worked hard to make.

I Respect the wise

For they know wisdom

when they breathe no longer I do not forget them.

I Respect the game

Even if i don’t win

I have to learn to lose in order to win.

I Respect the dignity

That no one can take I’m strong sooo i won’t break.

I Respect the process of life it’s self

whether poor or rich Life is a gift

But when it get’s hard it’s almost cursed.

I Respect the rewards for working hard

But I wont let that taint who I am.

I Respect the struggle of Life

a bitter sweet curse but i can turn that around

and make it a blessing in the works.

This is the end of my bitter sweet words.
