My Pen Keeps Me Pushing

My pen keeps me pushing

Through them dark days and lonely nights

When I just want to give up the fight

Of life

And the pain that illuminates sometimes to bright

These are the times I pick my pen

Let my ink spin

Get in the zone

And come out again

This is my solution

To the negatives everybody's polluting

See, my pen holds a dream

I'mma poetry fiend

Couldn't ask for nothing more

Cuz you're here to explore

When I let you in

The emotions float from my pen

So you ask what drives me?

The poetic talent I have inside me

People can say whatever they please

But believe

I have cushion

Because

My pen keeps me pushing

This is for them no good daddies

They think they can come and say what they want

And expect their "babygirl" to front

That's just the way it goes

I will not sugar coat

Or boast

Cuz you showed ya face

Cuz I remember all the lies you told when I was young

And that makes my heart race

You only gave me three great gifts

My sisters

That's about it

I'll never ask you for anything

Because you already have done nothing

But it definitely made me realize something

You just lied down with her

Which makes you

What will she be?

Won’t y’all please pray for my grandbaby?”

Lil’ Alexis sittin’ on the steps

Talkin’ to her friends

“He’s ten

He told me he like me

And that I was as pretty as can be

He wants me to be his girl

Ooh!

Y’all I’m on top of the world

Well, goodnite!

Momma said I got to be in before the streetlight.”

Jermaine stands by the corner store

Waitin’ for that Jeep with the suicide doors

It finally pulls up

“Ay, man, you got t...
