As I sit here in the dark
Searching my heart
For that spark that once shined bright
All my life I loved to write
Now I yearn to write like I once did 
There wasn't a time you could find me without a pen
Ten years a fight just to stay in the life of my kid
Has did a number on me
An awaken slumber something deep
But yet I still feel that hunger 
one that can't be appeased 
by something to eat
A subtle beat
That grows closer with every line I critique 
Trying reprogram my mind to find who I use to be
It still comes so fluently 
But the love isn't as congruent as it used to be
The man I've grew to be
Have changed my writings all the fighting has enlightened a darker me
The sole proprietor and author of Reep
Had to distance himself from people like my father's daughter indeed
Who sought to slaughter me in my time of need a few deadly blows but missed every artery 
The artistry will out live it
If I paint the pain exquisitely vivid
Chronicling how all those close to me sought to kill my spirit
But that voice inside of me
that soft spoken whisper I'll forever tune my ears in
just to ear it
I'll forever speak the truths
They cover up and pretending 
And that's the reason why they fear it
