Life Is

Dragged through the dirt
Ripped and torn is my shirt
A muddy,bloody mess
Try to kill me, use your best
I'm unlike the rest
 
Plowed over the rocks
In the ocean's sway
Confined to this box
I can only cough
A bloody spray
 
Life is
Trying to kill me
Always a test before me
If you could only see
I am living free
 
Countless attempts
Mutual contempt
But I can overcome
Where you're coming from
 
Silence my voice
Locks on my choice
Limitations, based on discrimination
Power in this defamation
Pain, a diluted sensation
Passion, based on aspiration
Dreams come and go
But what I know
Stoic, in my personality
The verdict, in it's finality
I was meant to be
 
Life is
Afraid of me
