"Falling into place"
  by Luvlee



Life
You know that thing that gets you down
But then turns around and gets you up again
Its funny I found God and lost friends
But they weren’t really friends to begin with right

How many of us have cried late at night all alone?
*raises hand and waves around wildly shouting me me me*

But why the next day you don’t even care anymore
Life…that’s why
We constantly complain about things that cannot be changed
But no we complain because we’re too lazy to change
So we put the blame on everyone else
I can’t get a job because I’m homeless
I’m homeless because I’m a drunk
I’m a drunk because…
Well because…
Because society put too many pressures on me
As a white man
As a Black man
As a Hispanic
As a Asian

Bull.[period]

You’re a drunk because of YOU

Why are we afraid to stand up and say that I have failed at life
Because we like to feel like victims
But Not I said the little chubby black girl with thick bifocal glasses that covered half of my face

NOT I

I refuse to live up to a standard that was set before me
I refuse to live by the rules put in place
Because my ancestors were to LAZY to fight for my future

I am going to be some body
NO no no scratch that
I AM SOMEBODY

Since my inception on October 14th 1987
I became a force to be reckoned with
Now who will stand with me but by themselves??

people like you bring nothing but a smile for me ... it's like going to a party and knowing absolutely no one and then out of nowhere you find that friend you haven't seen in forever...we're surrounded by ppl who do not understand and I definitely feel you on this...your writing style is so straighforward...you take it as deep as it needs to go for the reader to figure it out and understand and you leave it at that...damn good write lady
