    Could it be

    Could it be that all I am lost in a world of darkness seeing fictional light
    Could it be that my mind and stubbornness blinds my sight
    Making my days be night to the point I can’t tell
    Too confused for sleeping baby screams become adult yells
    Wanting the bell to ring for in my corner I’ll rest
    But there is still so much fight left to fight yet
    Could it be that the so-called man holds the monkey wrench that foils my plan
    Or maybe it’s that bottle these balls and the blunt in my hand oh man
    Could it be that I’ve been damned for life
    For the sins of man I’ve been punished twice
    Once cause I didn’t know again cause I did
    Could it be I am a destined to gorge like a pig in this pit I endlessly dig for myself
    Vanity is the unconcience goal with every breath
    Why kill, why die, why steal, why lie
    Just do, get by, too hard, just try
    Could it be a curse from above this seriously doubt
    Cause I was told that if I confess with my mouth
    That cleansing with grace would take place
    As the tears from hurt to joy race down my face
    With aspirations to see the master’s place no waste for the deeds of right
    As I continue to pace the lines in my book of life
    Could be that I’ve been here gone and come again
    Fighting a losing battle that I’m determined to win
    Could it be that I am still a child sleeping in a dream
    Getting an early look at reality before the alarm clock rings or is it all as it seems
    Infested with greed when a mere want appears as a need
    Would even bleed and damage the one body house I receive
    With a fear of failure that makes me believe I can’t achieve a thing but to conceive
    And clutter my brain with drank and weed damn!
    Could it be that I was born dying and I speeded that pace
    By shoving a bottle and dust in my face
    Too damn proud to admit disgrace desperately struggling to find my space
    Yes it could cause it is using my kids as a reason to live
    Trying to find the skill to forgive asking God to make heart like his
    Outside myself I see poor guidance for the one that follows me
    Must be strong roots to preserve a tree he’ll fall flat because of me
    Oh Lord could it be?

    this reads like spoken work poetry. like in church down south when folks get up and speak on it. i love it. damn it almost made me home sick.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
