In The Struggle: Who Am I

When I was born

I started with nothing

Had nothing to my name

And had nothing to claim

 

Life became very difficult

But then I wasn't so sure

Until when I was on my own

Alone, in the world I was thrown

 

I had a lot to struggle for

The hustle and bustle left me to tussle

I said to myself , aye

What do I want to accomplish in my life

 

Malcolm x says a man that stands for nothing will fall for anything

Yea yea I know.

I tried doing that, you know

 

It's hard being anything in this world

It's hard being yourself

Let's make the best of it

I really want to be in it:the struggle

 

I follow one person: that's Christ

He died for me

I came to acclaim that fact

And fight for what I need

 

There is practically a struggle for anything in life;

A Struggle for power

A Struggle for position

A Struggle to fit in

A struggle to be accepted

A struggle to acclaim wealth

A struggle to be respected

A struggle to become who you really want to be

A struggle to win

And many other others

 

 

I struggled so much

To my mama, sometimes I clutched

She consoled me in many times

Be strong girl, she always says

 

Yea, what of if I'm not strong

What of if I tried and it couldn't work out

Can I stay weak, I said to myself

No dear in this world you have to be strong

 

Hi, I said to someone

It was so glaring that she was disturbed by the struggle

She couldn't face me.

Cos she thought I could also be a struggle

 

The secret came out as:life is tough

Yet this becomes so ironical

When people say life is beautiful

Are they sure?

 

Sometimes I'm so bewildered

When the struggles become too much

But who am I to complain

Other people went through twice as much

 

Hi, I said to someone again

She really didn't see me as a struggle

But she kept a distance

So I wouldn't be another struggle in her life

 

Struggle mostly deals with emotions

The inability to take the pain away

The pain becomes constant

If you haven't achieved what you are struggling for.

 

We gonna be alright; a particular sentence in kendrick lamar's song- Alright

Does that dude know what he's saying?

I guess he has struggled too

So I guess he knows what he is saying

 

Hey, help a sister, help a brother in the struggle

Even God helps us

I know it's hard

Cos we even have to deal with ours

 

The beautiful and not the bitter truth is

We need struggles in life

To propel us

To prepare us for what is ahead

 

These struggles makes us stronger

We train to become warriors

Hey how do I Avoid the struggle? No

My love, I think it's better you give up on life

 

I went to bed so sad one night

Thinking about my struggles

Then I woke up the next morning

I asked myself

who am i?

 

Ask yourself

Ask a friend

Who are are you in the struggle?
