Will I be okay
Persevere in spite of all that may come in my way
Will I succeed in my endeavor to acquire wealth
Will I regress and ultimately destroy myself

Haunted by the misfortune of my complicated past
Presently reflect on what has come to pass
Contending with sources of pain
Defacing blemishes upon my image
My decisions will ensure that the hereafter won't be the same
Overcome with depression and fury
In the wake of instability
Homelessness
Insecurity
Jessica's death and her children
Sexism
Feminism
Ageism
Prejudice
Racism in connection to colourism
My family's future
The world's lack of civility
My potential to be met with intended, false accusation
Resulting in wrongful incarceration
At the behest of one who
will then profit in their desire to see me languish
I oppose my subjection to the system in which it is commonplace
Suppressing recurring thoughts of all I hate
Til I inevitably relapse
Overwhelmed
Withheld by the clutches of my reality
At the brink of a psychotic break
To so much trauma I've held on
And agony I can never capture in song
I suffer culture shock
Surrounded by conflict and continual expression of displeasure
Contradiction stimulating stress
Dwelling in a facade of optimism and perpetuating pessimism both have unique disadvantages
Freedom of speech is given a negative annotation
Irrational consensus causes social damage
Advantageous prospects had not come to fruition
Although I may have been stumbled
I maintain my persistence
If only I possessed divine wisdom
As opposed to merely having to follow my own intuition
Calculating my choices with infinite knowledge of consequence to further my progression
Yet, I attempt to find my way without direction
While encountering the same questions

Will I be okay
Persevere in spite of all that may come in my way
Will I succeed in my endeavor to acquire wealth
Will I regress and ultimately destroy myself
Will I be okay
Persevere in spite of all that may come in my way
Will I succeed in my endeavor to acquire wealth
Will I regress and ultimately destroy myself
Will I be okay
Persevere in spite of all that may come in my way
Will I succeed in my endeavor to acquire wealth
Will I regress and ultimately destroy myself

In subjection to things
That have left me aggrieved
That have thoroughly altered
All that I believe
I now perceive human beings to be the initial cause of all that befalls humanity
Warring with one another
While having potential to be our own worst enemies
Looking upon each other in envy
Living in vanity
Conceiving in poverty
Birthing children into dysfunctional, incomplete families
Jeopardizing their sanity
Long before they come to be
Mothered by women who suffer mental instability
Projecting their pain on everyone in their vicinity
Thereby perpetuating the very victimization they've endured
Which eventually lead to repressed memories
Consumed by experience, they exhibit a lack of empathy
That will adversely affect their children emotionally
Translating to behavioral patterns remaining after they come of age
Propelled by the pain of a past impossible to change
Eluded by closure
Becoming known to treat the following generation the same
Abusing posterity
And neglecting to acknowledge their responsibility for their children's disdain
In time, they develop a mechanism to cope with the trauma of which they're reminded in recollection
As they pursue knowledge of self
They're subconsciously overcome with the same questions

Will I be okay
Persevere in spite of all that may come in my way
Will I succeed in my endeavor to acquire wealth
Will I regress and ultimately destroy myself
Will I be okay
Persevere in spite of all that may come in my way
Will I succeed in my endeavor to acquire wealth
Will I regress and ultimately destroy myself
Will I be okay
Persevere in spite of all that may come in my way
Will I succeed in my endeavor to acquire wealth
Will I regress and ultimately destroy myself
