“WHEN THE WALLS START CLOSING IN”

I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START NOR WHERE TO BEGIN, 

WHO WILL BE THERE WHEN THE WALLS START CLOSING IN?

I HAVE HAD MANY ACQUAINTANCES, BUT FEWER FRIENDS, 

MOST I LOST ALONG THE WAY DURING MOMENTS ON THEM I THOUGHT I COULD DEPEND, 

OF COURSE THEY HAD THEIR OWN ANSWERS, EXCUSES, AND REASON, 

WAS HOPING SOMEONE SPECIAL WOULD STEP UP, STEP CLOSER, AND STEP IN, 

SOMEONE WHO COULD SEE MY TEARS FALLING AND BRING THEM TO AN END, 

SOMEONE WHO WOULD TAKE MY HEART AS THEIR HEART AND ALWAYS DEFEND, 

CAN’T TRUST MY WIFE SHE IS TOO CONCERNED ABOUT OTHER WOMEN, 

CAN’T TRUST MY WIFE WHO IS FUCKING MY SO CALLED BEST FRIEND,

HE DOESN’T KNOW THAT SHE IS ALSO FUCKING MANY OTHER MEN, 

YET I TAKE THE BLAME FOR LACK OF UNDERSTANDING AND COMPREHENSION,

WE ALL HAVE OUR ISSUES AND HURT THAT WE KEEP WITHIN,

I AM SO FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO WRITE MINE OUT ON PAPER WITH A BLACK PEN,

AT TIMES I FEEL AS IF I AM DYIN’,

MY WHOLE LIFE FLASHES BEFORE ME AGAIN,

I UNDERSTAND WITH HAPPINESS THERE WILL SOMETIMES BE PROBLEMS,

TO BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION IS WHAT I INTEND,

INSTEAD OF TAKING AWAY, YOUR ENERGY IS ASSISTING AND THE WEIGHT KEEPS THE WALLS MOVING IN, 

I REMEMBER LAST NIGHT, I REMEMBER MY MISTAKES, I KNOW ALL OF MY SIN, 

I USED TO YELL, BUT LOST MY VOICE SO EVERY WORD IS CAREFULLY CHOSEN, 

I CANNOT WASTE A WORD SO WHEN I SPEAK IT IS PASSIONATELY YET SOFTLY SPOKEN, 

I FEEL THE HEAT EVEN WHEN SOMEONE LETS THE COLD IN, 

I FEEL THE RAIN COMING DOWN ON ME, IT ALWAYS FEELS LIKE IT IS POURIN’, 

I DON’T KNOW WHICH WAY IS UP NOR DOWN – NO IDEA WHERE I’M GOIN’, 

I LOOK BACK AND SEE WHERE I HAVE BEEN, 

I WILL FIGHT AS THESE WALLS CONTINUE CLOSING IN, 

ALL I CAN DO IS HAVE FAITH IN HIM, 

THERE ARE BATTLES FOUGHT AND NO ONE WINS, 

I KNOW ONE THING FOR CERTAIN – I LOVE ALL OF MY CHILDREN, 

EVEN IF THERE ARE TIMES MY PATIENCE THEY WEAR THIN, 

I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE MY LIFE WOULD BE WITHOUT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM, 

WHEN I LOSE I ALWAYS KNOW I WIN, 

BECAUSE I KNOW AGAINST A WALL ME THEY WON’T PIN, 

I DO MY BEST WITH MY IDENTICAL TWIN, 

TO TEACH THEM ALL THAT WITH LIFE SOMETIMES YOU MUST TAKE IT ON THE CHIN, 

AT THE SAME TIME YOU CAN DODGE, DUCK, RUN, LIFE HAS BOUNDARIES WATCH YOUR STEP IF YOU CAN,

YOUR GOALS AND DREAMS LIVE THEM OUT AND STAY WITHIN, 

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS……………

LOVE ONE ANOTHER ALWAYS, GIVE YOUR BEST DON’T PRETEND,

SOMETIMES YOUR ENEMIES WILL TRY OR SUCCESSFULLY HELP YOU IT IS CALLED BEFRIEND,

I JUST PRAY I AM AROUND TO HELP YOU IF ON YOU THE WALLS START CLOSING IN.
