Lost in life
Lost in life with so many emotions built inside
I have so many tears that I just want to cry, but I hold them inside
26 two heart surgeries and I’m still living in these Brooklyn streets
Trying to be a mother to my little brother build an empire and show him that I love them
Doctors telling me that I’ll be fine
Suffering seizures, that’s not what I call life
I don’t even smoke or either drink but when I’m on my meds I’m already feeling bent
All alone in this world trying to be a good girl
Trying to fight all the demons that keep surrounding me, lord just protect me and continue guiding me.
About this poem
I was only 26 when I found out I was suffering from epilepsy I wrote this once I got dignosed to create a song but noticed it’s more like a lyrical poem.
