Diatribe

Guns and bullets, blood and guts Screams and knives, fists and shoves Steel and Iron, mayhem and riots, I’m Unbreakable, unbendable, unbeatable, Nothings ever gonna hold me down ~ I’ve walked for days, seen highs, lived lows Thought I wasn’t gonna make it, said I’d Give up, then picked myself up, dusted off my clothes Stood up, turned around, and said bring it all again, cuz I’m Grateful for my worst days - I’m legendary in my head, philosophies follow me Around my feet tripping world in search of Zen I’ve got answers to questions only I’m asking See me today, see me tomorrow, it’s all the same The secret of life is finding balance ~ Headlines, news, live tv, the only truth that matters Is the one I create…not pretend, not fake Keep the masks in the store, I’m not selling who I am Just showing my ugly to the world, to see how they deal Be who you really are ~ When I’m gone, when they remember the dance I made Will they sing for me, will they shout, pound their fists down Turn their eyes to heaven and scream at the sky Or will they shake their heads and Remember the smiles, the laughs, the small things that made me unique I’m legendary in my head, philosophies follow me Around my feet tripping world in search of Zen I’ve got answers to questions only I’m asking See me today, see me tomorrow, it’s all the same The secret of life is finding balance ~ Headlines, news, live TV, the only truth that matters Is the one I create… not pretend, not fake Keep the masks in the store, I’m not selling who I am Just showing my ugly to the world, to see how they deal Be who you really are ~ When I’m gone, when they remember the dance I made Will they sing for me, will they shout, pound their fists down Turn their eyes to heaven and scream at the sky Or will they shake their heads and Remember the smiles, the laughs, the small things that made me unique I’ve tasted silence louder than any war cry Felt loneliness grip tighter than chains ever could Stared at my reflection until I forgot who it was Only to rediscover myself in the pain I once ran from Every scar I carry is a signature of survival ~ There’s a rhythm in my chaos, a beat beneath the madness Even my shadows know how to move with pride I’m not broken—I’m reforged in the heat of every storm A walking contradiction, breathing proof that You can be soft and steel at the same time People talk, people twist, people tear But my name is more than what their mouths can carry I’m not here to please, to bow, or blend I came to carve space, to exist like fire does— Unapologetic, wild, and needed Some of us weren’t made to fit in—we were made to ignite ~ I’ve loved with a heart wide open, bleeding sometimes I’ve trusted snakes in human skin, learned slow But I learned—oh, I learned Now I guard my peace like treasure Not every hand deserves to hold your soul In the stillness of the night, I talk to myself I remind me of all I’ve survived, all I’ve endured And I laugh—because damn, I’m still here Still standing, still shouting, still dreaming Resilience isn't loud, sometimes it whispers, “one more day.” ~ So let them write my story in crooked ink Let them miss the nuance, misquote my pain I’ll write my own pages, bleed truth into each line And if they read me wrong, that’s on them I never needed to be understood—just to be real Let the winds howl, let the skies crack open Let every loss turn into legend, every bruise into a lesson I’ve made a home inside the chaos Hung pictures on the walls of my past And called it sacred, called it mine There’s beauty in owning your broken ~ And when I finally fade, when my voice is gone Let them find echoes of me in late-night talks In fearless choices, in laughter too loud In someone who stood up when others sat down Legacy isn’t fame—it’s impact, it’s soul prints So here I am, wild and weary, whole and hurt Telling my truth without filters or gloss Because someone out there needs to hear it To know they’re not alone, not lost We rise, not to be perfect—but to be real ~ This is my roar, my prayer, my mark I may fall, but I rise again Bleeding, smiling, screaming—again and again Because I was made for this Made to fight, made to feel, made to live loud
