Hip Hop Saved My Soul

I have been dealing with a lot of stuff in my life lately and as I was laying in bed trying to go to sleep one night I almost lost it.  Here is a Rhyme/ Poem that I wrote about what happened.  Enjoy!




Hip Hop Saved My Soul

Heart and mind are racing, need to shout
Can’t sleep, layin in bed, freakin out
On the edge of sanity, about to fall
One more step and I’m in, I lose it all

The assault is continuous, my sanity’s under attack
Always one step forward, two steps back
About to give in, to stress, pain and dread
When I hear this beat go off, in the back of my head

The beat calls to me, like a long lost friend
It whispers in my ear “Don’t give up, the fights not over, this isn’t the end.”
As I struggle to hold on, to the last shards of me
Rhymes start to flow with the beat and it sets me free

I don’t recall the beats, or the rhymes that flowed with’em
All I have are these words, to pay homage to’em
In one of my darkest hours, when I was about to lose control
Hip Hop set me free, and it saved my soul.
