The results of what my life is.....

Are of my own fault,my own doing ,my own devices

Moms taught me what wrong and right is

But I chose to focus on her vices,follow her enticements

Disregard sacrifices,

And belittle what she's meant to me in times of crisis.

Moms wasn't self-righteous

She understood my life was in a whirlwind

Like when I tried to end it all

Partly because of a girlfriend.

And when she seen me at 16

held in a precinct for serving

Fiegns cooked coke and heroin.

She was right there.....

Right there for me,.....supporting me,.....giving me help.

Not to condone but to let it be known

What she saw in me

And that there's more in me

Than what I saw in myself

But I was a hard head.

Raised in the school of hard knocks.

I've been this way,.....

Since the days of hard bottoms and soft spots

I've been rebellious, I'm so defiant.

So determined to do things my way

With no alliance .

No allegiance to the degrees and

Lessons she's been teaching .

Now I am teaching.

Giving her the reason.

Why,despite how strong or decent you are,

You can't lead men

Away from a life of malfeasance.

I blame me and not society, not Glenda

Not Shawn , not my cousin, or any other family member.

I blame me.

So to all who read this. ..Remember

I chose to follow the sin.....

And not the sinner.
