this is from my book

the working title of the book is THE PRIZE


Chest Pain

I got this pain an pressure
no relief no sleep it's stabbing me on the left uhhh the left side of my chest

I just need some rest I have to do better than the rest I need to rise up better than the best this is my only escape from this madness
I got money I can't spend it I got thoughts that keep spinning I can’t get to the pen fast enough to pen them
Anxiety is a high for me where is my sobriety I’m taking in these thoughts like a drunk steady drinking
I’m shaking out these thoughts like the philosopher thinkingI’m going to free my peeps like Abraham Lincoln then I got to cure this cough before I end up in a coffin
I’m walking down the sidewalk just to myself talkingand I find myself speaking to myself so often that I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll ever have time to quiet my mind
and maybe in time find the peace of mind“that excels all thought”

the peace you work to find it I’m just gone have to step out on faith
I don't know how many times I need to be remindedI suppose every day I awake and repeat the mantra“1 tenth of all I earn is mine to keep”and a portion of my mind is dedicated to peaceand as I arrive at the conclusion it’s l2:30 I hope that I can find my sleep
