Fix On My Own

Shawnice Pate 1991 (Brooklyn)



I wished to be forgiven of my past had done.

The time of my age is now.

I ran away in the past facing dangers alone.

I was the one to be picked one long ago.

Have you faced horrid battles alone?

I came from a dark place, saving people and myself the hard way.

I am alone seeing these messages.

It was before the time was among.

Those I trust wasn't too involved in my personal struggles.

The events was a scary scene to be in.

The time have come to be stronger.

I grown a pair than the lasting years.

My sin release year is twenty six.

I know I have to fix this on my own.

I prayed to be release and saved.

Over time, I achieved the meaning of defending yourself.

Though there was a price to pay.

That year I cried for the last time before people.

That is when I chose to protect.
