I AM Who I Am

I AM Who I Am

A Poem by Scirrocco

I am who I am and I feel how I feel
Nothing I can do yo the deals been sealed
So I cope with my fucked up ways like whatever
I'm not afraid of getting wet yeah I stay in stormy weather
However, I'm use to hardships
F**k it my life's a gauntlet
I never had a choice but to walk it
Got nothing to lose and nothing to gain
Composing a rhyme to keep from going insane
But at this point in my life thoughts weigh heavy on the brain
I find myself moving at a pace I can't maintain
I was once wired but now my energy's drained
Insomniac suffering from sleepless nights
I'm so tired but I guess that's life
You win and you lose, yeah you live and you learn
And the object of the game yo is not to get burned
Unfortunately there is no heaven without hell
And paradise always seems to lie beyond the bars of a cell
So this is for them skinny cats living the streets
Striving to eat and trying to make ends meet
Would rather die than know the meaning of defeat
I deal with words while some deal with heat
So you should think again before you think s***s sweet
You'll end up with a mouth full of cavities
Bent over pointless rivalries, blind and dieing to see
Now you tell me what man don't bleed
Hungry and won't kill to feed if he feels the need
I'm looking for the right soil to plant me seed
So my legacy will live on when I've ceased to breathe
We are who we are and we feel how we feel
Nothing we can do yo the deals been sealed
I got mad love for them cats yo who keep s**t real
And for you fake m***********s yo ya'll get nil

Wow this just rolls and rolls ... so smooth and still packs a hellashish message, a fantastic write.

And paradise always seems to lie beyond the bars of a cell
So this is for them skinny cats living the streets
Striving to eat and trying to make ends meet
Would rather die than know the meaning of defeat
I deal with words while some deal with heat
So you should think again before you think s***s sweet... my favorite. I think. I loved it all.

I love your style and every piece just seems more and more real than the last. I loved the way it was so unapologetic, you weren't afraid to say what you meant and that's a quality that's seriously lacking these days. People try to sugarcoat everything and avoid everything that isn't all rainbows and smiles.

Unfortunately there is no heaven without hell
And paradise always seems to lie beyond the bars of a cell

I loved these lines. Great write!

"F**k it my life's a gauntlet
I never had a choice but to walk it
Got nothing to lose and nothing to gain"

No apology, no excuse, just living.
Well done.

Hell yes, luckily in the end heaven was worth all the hell, 'cause once you open your eyes and truly see, you will see that it was worth all the blood sweat and tears.
Nicely done, I just love the way you think!
