The Choice Is Yours

I cried so many tears,
I have no more
I just fold.
Put trust in filthy people
that my heart it’s so cold.
You win some and you lose some
knowledge wisdom it’s gold.
Expand your mind to ease your time
for peace you unload.
Pray for the best expect some mess,
that’s just how it goes.
IF you’re loved they hate
just find some faith and pray
your soul stuck in a cell
I think its hell,
I’m desperate it shows.
No friends, no visits, no fam,
no money no hope for unknown.
But still I try to hold my head
cause only God knows.
When in distress I know I’m blessed
I breathe and let go.
Thought you was me and I was you
together were’ bold.
But you hate me and I love you
why ever so cold.
My down-fall was a dollar but a dollar was pleasing,
it had my back it kept me smack on pace and from freezing.
I found the piece which lead to peace
my puzzle is golden.
In forgiveness there is power,
for my power I’ve chosen
sometimes it’s best to let go give
so that the humble can live.
For a fool is just a fool who claim the wise looking in none is chosen.
No man is righteous for he is lifeless.
But through the son and faith alone
His grace His mercy was shown.
It’s up to you the choice is yours.
With that knowledge I’m gone.
