I Can Breathe Again
I'm~
the only hell
my mama
ever raised
My sanity
is my madness
yet
not in question
never knew the truth
so I couldn't lie
don't fear death
so I wouldn't hide
I've been breaking bones
and throwing stones all my life
but~
One doesn't throw stones
at empty trees
nor~
expect fruit
of wilted seeds
One~
can't bend on broken knees
nor~
does one pray
for wounded dreams
t h e r e ' s n o c o u r a g e w i t h o u t f e a r
no darkness
without light
no righteousness
without sin
losers seldom win
there are
no rules of war
or
rules in war
that's why . .
it's called
w a r . !
That's why~
in a fight
If ever I get
my hands or teeth
on your
n u t s a c k
You Lose . . !
ain't no
runner up
no
second place
no
consolation prize
It's warfare~
and
I am war
this ain't no
f u c k i n
love story . !
second is just
first to lose . !
whomsoever~
employs
the most

anyone~
who tells you
differently
is just
full of shit
I c a n ’ t b e s a v e d . . !
I'm
not looking
for
salvation
nor
redemption
don't want to be
anyone's martyr
nor I . .
a saviour be
I'm not~
afraid of Death
and still
not afraid
to draw breath
I sow seeds
I know
would not grow
j u s t t o s p i t e t h e g r o u n d
I hold my breath
untIl the end
So I . .
