"T.h.3 R.3.z L.i.f.3 ( My life)"
  by LakotaPoet12


I sit here thinking
Bout the life that lead
All I could do is raise my hands
To my face and cry
Why do things gotta end up like this?
I watch my people getting the bad end
Of the governments mistakes
We all try so hard to make it thru the day
But at the end we all sit at the end of our beds
Crying and sobbing over the day we just had
Hoping that one day we won the lotto
Just get up and out of this bitch
Everyone here lives just the same as me
But, some don’t notice cuz it’s the life we be living
We are always told we aint gonna be shit
But, damn it when we ever gonna switch the rolez on them
I hate fearin what the next day gonna bring
Alcohol, drugs, and sex
Shit we obviously cant handle
Aids, HIV, and Death
Something that’s happenin every damn day
We gots to think bout the younger onez in our lives
But, its hard cuz they be doing the same thing we are doing
Drinking everynight; not caring what the hell they all be thinking
Drugs is takin over our people and we aint even noticing this kinda shit
Its just another day on the rez
Just another damn day in life
And its something most of us just cant hack
I aint even tryna blame anyone for the way I live
But, I see
I see how we all live and they way we gonna end up in the end
It hurts to see my lil bro
Getting high and slangin on the streets
Watchin my older bro wastin his life
On alcohol and just sittin here wishin a different life
It hurts to think bout all the peoplez I lost in my life
Due to shit that everyone still does
They don’t think bout the boyz they lost in the struggle
We just keep doin what we do best

I just sit here thinking
Thinkin bout how my words
My words are the only things that set me free
That make me see how life like this is a damn joke
Writin bout all this is just makin me stress
So imm leave with a line that’s gonna make this shit kill…..
Im just waitin for the right time to get away so I don’t end up like another Indian statistic
An alcoholic, A drug addicted parent who cant take care of the kids they made when they were just babies themselves.

Im out

So everyone can think bout

All the shit we have to go thru

Everyday

Livin our life on the rez….

Hopin, wishin, prayin for a way out….of the life that was givin to us…..

Damn isn’t this a bitch…
