Function

I was Bruised

I felt Broken-

I was Blinded

But I kept Going-

This is my Life

I didn’t choose it-

It was given to me

I’m a Blessing -

I had to dig down inside,

And I drank down

My Pride…

So I can Function!

My Blessings stand

Waiting

For me, but

Still I

Gotta Function!

I was left out

At 17

Trying to

Find my

Way

Through

The Urban

Streets…

With The Fighter

Soul inside of

Me

I had to Function...

No Thought

Of

Giving up...

My biggest

Passion

Was Too

Succeed!

How

Could

I

Accomplish

Such a Thing,

Being

Surrounded

By so

Much Misery?

But I

Had to

FUNCTION!
