Broken Dreams Poem by one man alone

Life has got me feeling
that I'm closer to hell than heaven
The drugs approached my veins
when I was just eleven

let me tell you how it goes
I was stealing by 13
now the hustlers feeling big
and the streets was like a dream

I never had an education
so I turned to dealing dope
shit I was hanging dead
and the gift from god was rope

you see the life don't care for you
and you don't care for life
if your backs against the wall
and your feeling for your knive

shit I was getting paper
when I was just a teen
with a sword behind the door
can you see this seen

you see life has got me feeling
like hell is just to near
with a tear in my eye
broken dreams become so clear
