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
