Thank you all for listening to this. I hope you got something from it, or at least enjoyed it.

I really want to find new people on steem to work with. If you are interested in any sort of collaboration, let me know in the comments and hopefully we can do something.

Lyrics:

• Verse 1
  sometimes writing shit is hard, because I feel rage
  But there’s a heart behind these bars, in a steel cage
  Sometimes I know I won’t go far, but I still aim
  cuz I’ve collected so many scars, I don’t feel pain
  See life’s a real game, had my strikes and I’m out now
  sick of all this shit though, I’m livin in an out house
  I feel I can’t get out now, I wanna make a real escape
  I wanna make a change, but I do not have a bill to break
  I feel like this line is getting longer
  Every minute, every day, I feel weaker not stronger
  I want to be alone, it’s only pain when I do hunger
  I want to just go home, and feel like I did when I was younger
  Feel like it is still mine, feel like I could still shine
  My glass is empty, can somebody please fill mine
  I want to become open,I want to have a still mind,
  But age it makes you hard, so now I have a steel mind

• Verse 2
  Even though things are always in my way and I
  sometimes feel like I might not even stay alive
  Just say goodbye, no more sad lonely nights
  no more fights, no more lows, no more heights
  No more hikes, no more early morning lights
  No more like, no more love, no more sight
  Give a shrug, it’s goodnight, i’ve had enough, fuck it
  But then I think about the life that I’ll miss
  Maybe one day I might have some kids,
  Then I’ve given a life, so there’s life after this
  Hope I never will forget, life is shit, but there is bliss
  you will hit you will miss, It’s a bitch, but don’t forget
  It’s infamous but intimate, It’s infamous but intimate,
  It’s a miracle called life, it is ya consciousness
  There’s no battle for your soul, because you can not conquer it,
  It’s a livin entity, it’s in you and it’s in me
  The truth that we will see, everyone of us is free
