Am I A Victim of Things I Need to Maintain?

“Am I a victim of things I need to maintain”

Words of the late Tupac Shakur

A thug who needed a place to let his head down

Cause the life he lived, came with discomfort

He was human, like me, like you, human

 

Early this morning I made a call

A call that would prove that history has no repeats

But man, oh man, was I up for a surprise

This is not the first time, this is a repeat of the many times

And to think taking a different approach would be a change

I take it I was wrong, again, for the many other wrongs

 

I have been Jack for a long time

Everytime I hop out the box, I get pushed back in

And everytime after that, I would have an excuse

Write it down, as therapy, what an excuse

Kick myself, say life’s a bitch, scratch my head, excuses

Like now, life’s a bitch right, excuse

 

This is not a poem, but written in the form of one, not an excuse

 

I have a stone in my shoe

Getting rid of it, brings a bigger one, after the other

Ten years is much as an excuse for more years to come

I have a grave yard field with them, one on top of the other

And I am sick of TRYING to bury the word “excuse”

My anger gets me heated, and this is much a release therapy

A place to let my head down and rest just a little bit

 

My phone is buzzing for life, and I’m disrupting from it

How do I recharge my own as easy as recharging a phone?

Where do I begin, I know from the bottom, but where?

Where are the doors I’m looking for, where are the ones I’m not?

Is God really with me, can He listen, will He open a door for me?

Or am I just a victim?
