I have shed blood, sweat,immeasurable tears
Stared bluntly in the face of my greatest fears
I have had good thoughts and some insane
Some brought me great pleasure some brought me great pain
I have been free and trapped in a cage
Been bursting with love and insufferable rage
I have known death and I have known birth
Seen Heaven and Hell in my life on this Earth
I have been lost and also been found
Been lifted up high and kicked down to the ground
I have turned hate to love and love into hate
Done magnificent things, a few not-so great
I have several friends, enemies too
Some of them old and some of them new
I have spoken with ink, lips and heart
Written and read inspirational art
I have lived life as well as I could
Some parts might have been bad but, most parts were good
I will rise up each time that I fall
For life is worth living so I give it my all
