Yearning

And i was never a rapper

People misunderstood

Because my flow and my rhymes were so good

But i was just a poet

Speaking the beat of my heart

I never claimed to be book or street smart

There's something about poetry that's bigger than art

Untranslated emotioned carefully picked apart

I was always a surgeon tryna cut out my flaws

Tryna stitch up the marks made by several claws

And life always left me in awe

To big to grasp with my tiny paws

First scratches made by my mom

And that always left me feeling raw

So many screams telling me i'm wrong

Now that i'm older know more was going on

Know that she was in pain that's why she pushed me down

I try to write new pages call it moving on

But ink stains and i fear that i don't have that long

I write verses move my pen on the paper it feels urgent

To draw different perspectives and show that life's worth it

I'm certain that there's more hidden behind the curtain

I give meaning to the hurting look for the blessing not the burden

And i'm yearning for those better days

Yearning, yearning for those better days

Oh i'm yearning for better days

Yearning for better days

Yearning, yearning for better days

Oh i'm yearning for those better days

Yearning for those better days

Yearning for those better days
