My Mind's Opinion

I search for verses to express my mind’s opinion
I’m hoping ya’ll hear me, or is this all worthless
Though to inspire is my purpose
Lack of inspiration often leaves me wordless

I’ve been through a lot over the years
Faced many fears
Shed twice as many tears
Yet, I’m still here!
Sometimes just thinking back
Makes me relapse to the pain of the fact that,
I lost some very close friends of mine
It seems like, just when it’s ok
Something or someone says, wait!
Don’t take any of it for granted
Because if you die tomorrow
A million more will be born across the planet
So did you count for something?
Or were you just bluffing?
And if you did something with your life
You were God’s sacrifice
But if you lived by the beast
Your soul burns eternally
So I pray on prostrated knees
And asked to be guided righteously
From the path I have strayed
So there’s a price to be paid
And all I wanted was a way

To express my mind’s opinion
I’m hoping ya’ll hear me. or even better feel me
Though to inspire is my purpose
Lack of inspiration often leaves me wordless

Because now, even silence is loud
They tell me the sun still shines
But all I’m seeing are clouds
I look and see how far we’ve all come
And mostly I’m proud
And I will forever miss the faces that aren’t amongst the crowd
We in the last days now
So if this isn’t enough to get you up
Then we can’t be down
I’m not here to preach
Because before that I must teach
I’m just hoping I’m able to reach ya’ll
Before that contract called life is breached
To those who helped mold me along the way
I just want to say
I’ll return that favor one day
And I hope I never asked for too much
Cause all I wanted was a way

To express my mind’s opinion
I’m hoping ya’ll hear me, or is this all worthless
Though to inspire is my purpose
Lack of inspiration often leaves me wordless
So I’ll say what I can, when I can
And hope I’m forgiven for my weaknesses
I am who I am
