Can you hear me now?

A Poem by Diamond Dunbar

In the year of 2015, I embarked on a spiritual journey that's brought much growth but also being much light to my imperfections.

Allow me to shed light on my life, to help you understand what I go through from day til night.
I'm sure we are all familiar of battles out in the world, but not the battle that many fight....within themselves just to feel alright.
See the storms of indicted weather can overtake anyone like the wind with a feather.
The misconstrued truth that you've calculated is apart of the reason to a lot of the problems Im constantly facing.
See it's kinda hard to tell people your truth when they've never got the time to get to know you.
They just scan you like a book they never intend to read.
They just look at all your seen experiences and judge you....but you never once spoke up and said that's not true!
So they accepted you as the monster they was making you.
I fought all last night so I can have peace in my heart today, see my mind has already been complacent in the dark spaces that consume me.
The only war zone I've known was right in my mind.
It's like my heart is the victory and don't get me wrong I've fought many and lost.
I've spent days hurting people cause for the moment I didn't own me. I didn't control me but I was watching myself be defeated by the means of my relationships, my situations, hell even my education.
Reached out to God, had him dust me off but he knew the battle and told me to choose I wanted control of me!
I didn't want to lose myself no more to no one else even if it was a figment of my imagination.
I fell and now he can't hear me now. I yell and now he can't hear me now.
