One of You

 Trying to lead the flock,
Though I'm part of the flock,
Not a black sheep,
So I blend in with the flock,
Do they choose to listen,
Or close their ears to my thoughts?

I'm just trying to help,
Though I need help myself,
Hopefully, I don't come off as perfect,
Maybe then, they'll allow my help,
Feel like a broke kid made millions,
Without anybody else,
It's no fun,
If others can't touch the wealth,

Made it here by myself,
Big mansion with no one there,
Drop messages to ones who drool,
About the success my life include,
I teach them how to elude,
Bad situations I went through,

Never spoke on it,
But they know I'm telling facts,
I talk from passion,
So they know I'm fully intacted,
Giving them weapons against their obstacles,
And telling them fight back,
Sideline cheering for them,
A coach,
Having their back.

Inspired by Marvin Sapp's "Never Would Have Made It"

Never would have made it, Would be in the grave if, That knife was closer, If that condom wasn’t trustworthy, If them bullets didn’t call somebody else home, You have no idea, How many nights I cried alone, Because my sins were tucked at home, While my conscious dome, Realize God, Let me walk publicly distant from, The struggles I struggle with, When no one talking, Just the devil at my brain, Constantly knocking, I would have never made it to my success, Went through battles, Though no visible battle scars, Just PTSD, And hidden flaws, Things still trigger me, I can’t escape my past, Only can evolve as a person, But can never escape my innate ability, God saved me, But tug of wars I still see Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twitter

Inspired by Angela Rye's Comments

They made Angela Rye cry, Time for our form of apartheid, People just starting to be woke, People been hanging from ropes, Even a few months ago, They failed to acknowledge the truth, When it’s been staring at you, 400 years ignored, What does that say about you? It’s cool, You didn’t believe what we say, Then we provided you videotapes, You choke us to death, Shoot us to dead in broad day, And we’re feeling helpless, And our mothers continue to cry every day, I’m still hopeful for better, And I believe in God, Sometimes I wish I could lash out, But my hands are tied, Can’t be the hero my people need, It hurts me to see, The level of success I have, Yet it still don’t matter, They still treat me like a savage, Hate that our babies have to grow up in this madness, Feel like daily, Amerikkka has given us sadness Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twit
