I USED TO LOVE


This a poem i wrote a while ago about my life and some things that were happening in it. Its deep and kind of personal. It has to do alot about the loves ive seen, had and lost. Only a few people that I can count on one hand has ever seen or heard this poem, but i am completely comfortable with it now, so here it is, tell me what you think...


I used to love my mom but she was lovin the drugs
She aint show no love, left when I was 7 months
I used to love my dad but he loved doin robberies
He been locked up my whole life, he aint never get to ride with me
I love my brother but he hated bein bummy
Now he locked up again because of the love of the money
I love my sister but she was lovin the bitches
loved runnin around with the chickens that loved to hit her
I loved my girl, loved her with my whole heart
Where did things go wrong? now I love with no heart
I try to love with my mind but love is on my mind
Love can keep u smilin
and love can keep u cryin
Love can calm u down or love can have u wild'n
I used to love my life but life turned into a bitch
Every month it cramps up, it reminds me of a chick
I love my niggas but they love pullin triggers
Every week they call me talkin bout somethin different
When it comes to Ron, you love to talk shit about em
But I dont give a fuck at least you aint forget about em
I love my friends that were always by my side
Thats why its so hard for you to take them from my side
I love who I am cause I came a long way
But its easy to turn and start to go the wrong way
I love myself but I got a lot of problems
But what I love about me is that I'll always try to solve em
I loved so many things that didnt love me back
but love is too strong, I cant tell it not to come back
When it comes to love its better to have, had and lost
rather than not havin at all
I had love, it told me start fallin back
So Imma wait by the phone until love calls me back.

I love it!!!

It just lets you know that no matter how horrid you think your own situation is, no matter how close you come to giving up it's somebody else not only going through similar/worse but making it.

It's such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing...
