Give Em Hope, Not Fear.A Story by Matthew Webb
I want to use my freedom of speech / to reach those in need / who feel the only way out is to bleed / lay out in defeat, from their head to their feet / and they think it's their doing / watchin dad beat mom in the livin room / watchin happiness turn to ruin, feel confused and their mind starts screwin / up the truth, when they can't trust the people up under their own roof / and that ain't hyperbole, making kids ticking time bombs internally / abused, used, accused, bruised, 5 year old shoes, nothing left to lose / and it's really inexcuse-/-able but you rarely see it on the news / self worth is worthless, when self worth is based on how you're treated by one person / but that's all they ever know, that's all they ever see, so that's all they ever show, and that's all they'll ever be / if they don't get inspiration / instead of constant intimidation / but what do we see, nothing until it's too late / until there's a birth and a death date / until there's just too much weight for one person to take / and one mistake is the only one they need to make / as they fall and they break, like pieces on the floor / a shattered picture of before, a cold corpse knocking on deaths door / and the line at the service can only be so long / before it's all over and those moments are all gone/

Most of what I write is the equivalent of freestyle rhyme or rap. As of now there is no option for that, .. more..Writing
