Hope
By SP
You’re attractive from afar,
Even with the distance of a star.
Mixed emotions when I think of you
Because I wonder where you are.
Anxiety and Depression,
Had me second guessin’,
But Big Homie told me,
“Time will answer questions”
With that New Perspective
I turnt my losses into lessons
and the resiliency in me
had me humble under pressure!
Shout out to Free Minds
Because they books help me cope.
The last one was inspiring
it cleansed my soul like some soap.
It was named after you,
and I thought that was dope
it was written by Obama…
