    Life's Confessions

     Six times I done drank
    One shot too many
    Drove drunk got high
    Till little life’s left in me

    Mixed weed other thangs
    I had no business mixin'
    Put up a heavenly front
    Doin nothing but sinnin'

    Laced other peoples marijuana
    With crack cocaine
    When they heard that poppin sound
    I said it just seeds man

    Lied to my mom and pops
    About the thangs I was doin
    Steered my cousin toward them feloines
    Now his life is in ruins

    Turned my back on my brother
    Cant look in his eyes
    I think I feel a little guilty
    Cause i'm up on the rise

    My moms is callin me
    Sayin will I go visit a nigga
    I try to make up excuses
    But the lies getting thinner

    Try and think about my paper
    Till the state try and stop me
    If I fail Im up to Vegas
    I know the gods has got me

    Once or twice up in this life
    I learned some tough ass lessons
    Dear Father please forgive me
    These are my life’s confessions

    All I can say is, damn son. It's so honestly spoken and flows so well. Amazing job.

    its a hard thing to hear the truth from someone that cares about you and even more difficult to be the one spouting that truth to the face staring back at you in the mirror. Excellent work

    Very subtle treatment of a very emotional subject. Very honest treatment of the subject matter, The constant struggle between good and evil or just plain old existing and living seems to come forth as one of your themes. There is no easy answer my friend. We all know the right path, it's making ourselves stay on it that becomes the day to day struggle

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
