Commitment
Sterling Porter 1983 (Chicago)
When we first started, you always kept me sparkin, pushed me to be great, showed me i could make it a better way, you used to motivate me everyday, tell me how you loved and appreciated me daily, and that made me want to do more because enough wasn't good enough, but then shit got really rough, i mean really tough, and all that admiration hit a stop, and all that drive slowly dropped, all that love and appreciation, became hate ,disgust, and decapitation, and all the man i am was stripped from my gratification, so yeah i been drinking, sitting in dark corners thinking, confused about my existence, and what it means to be resistant, i can see death and my soul collide in the distance, then darkness over takes my intentions, all i am is a shell of man that made a commitment......
