Letting Go

How can a broken mirror
Reflect good images?
I work on myself
To repair these damages
But it's all good
Speaking broken pieces together
Trying to fix my crew
Before we talk about the crucifix
Random thoughts on these mics
All alone in a mirror room
Got me reflecting on these lines
Few true ones around
These ones just feed you lies
10 years old
Caught up with these fears
Never liked toys
Spent time thinking more
No time to say it all
But why should I be afraid for 10 years
If it never turned my life around?
Got Got...
Got a lot to speak
But I've been cursed with a tongue
Can't can't turn ma thoughts into speech
When ma teeth keeps fighting ma tongue
Can't lift ma tongue
When it feels like
There is a dumbbell on ma tongue
Yet me speaking won't work out
And I don't even know
What I'm about
Worried about this speech impediment
This pending in speech meant
In my speaking there's a defect
It's either I stretch these words
Or pronounce the English words worse
Reason my Thisable Album is delaying
But first
I've come to realize
That to send ma message across
My pronunciation
Doesn't have to be perfect
Let's talk about this pair first
Myself and poetry
Have been practising for 8 years
Just to be perfect
Yet when I pronounce an 'R'
I took an 'L' first
My 'H' silent as dumb
And 'Th' came out as 'T'
When ma speech
Was put to the test
But this did not discourage me
I practised
Till I passed the test
And if you didn't get me
All I'm saying is
Practice makes perfect
Ay!
And so
I'm letting go of
Wrong thinking
Stinking thinking got me sinking
It got me sinking
In the oceans of misconception
Wrong belief
Always seeking sweet words to relieve
To relieve myself of depression
Wrong confession
Still echoes
In the deserted lands of my heart
See
It all began on a Monday
Everyone wants you to live their dreams
But on the real
Charley my mind no dey
God you say we go make am
But rydee I get make up kraa
Ago sell
I know say we go win though
But how long
Do we have to look
At success through the windows?
