Life's A Battle Poem by Alex Perez

One mistake I made was to break the connection of my own reflection; my perception needs perfection, now I’m guessing this is one of life’s little lessons; messing up as I take my steps-what’s next? Loss control of what I’m trying to hold to, now I’m onto my last breath; it’s just a test, I listen to the words of my mother that’s why I love her the best and on my quest I look for an opportunity somewhere within my community, I hear of some who speak of unity but all I see is you and me; that’s when I realize I’m speaking to myself there’s no one else, I look in the mirror and all I see is the man that I am; not the man I should be, now it could be that I’m used to being on dry land but I bet I can get my feet wet, that’s if you can catch my drift; now what if this could be something that I could I could fix, I pull out my crucifix as I start to pray-night and day; the same way I was shown to do and yes I owned a few burdens that I just had to let go, now I must accept those who do try to help me sometimes; take it off of fast-forward and press rewind; and set my life to a steady beat, no more wasting my time trying to count sheep cause how sweet life could be if I chose to change my life and make it how it opt to be, now I open my eyes as I step to face reality.
