I see innocence dying around me daily.
Little by little the souls of friends are drained by time
I see their battles
I stumble through my own
I went all in on the last hand I played
Now I'm just BROKE
Emotionally spent but not defeated
I've seen the best of friends ripped apart over greed and envy
businesses being stolen right out from under the very souls who created them
Friendships turn to nothingness
Love turn to fear and pain
Family members who trade loyalty for a sense of belonging turning their backs to their own offspring
I've watched abusive hands leave their dirty souls on the purest of hearts
I've felt the hands of another draining the life out of my earthly body
still I pass no judgement
I've always told myself I wont retreat
I wont become that weak
I refuse to bow out
I wont choose weakness nor will I take the easy way out
Yes I'm fighting for my soul too
I'm no different than you
It's hard
I struggle every moment
I may be more than depressed almost empty
I still have a light within me you will never get to smother and extinguish
I may cope with life in a different way than you're used to seeing
but one thing I know for sure is........IM STRONG
I will never sell my soul for the cost of a life that has no true VALUE to me.....NEVER
I know whats right and whats wrong for ME
I may fight myself......I may even occasionally fight you
but I will NEVER sell my soul for the price of that admission
