Am I Somebody?: Slam Poetry by Brooklyn

All Alone

I’m falling I’m brawling to survive I’m calling but they’re ignoring to help save my life Desperately out of strife I scream I’ve fallen and I can’t get up Discouraged and stuck up I try doing it on my own That’s why I’m falling all alone I’m perspiring I’m trying to finish this race It’s tiring I feel like retiring but I keep my pace With sweat on my face I spit on the ground On this track I go around Breathing heavy I raise my tone Why oh God must I run all alone Keep your lives free From the love of money And be content With what you have Because God has said “Never will I leave thee Never will I forsake thee.” So we say with confidence “The Lord is my helper And I will not be afraid What can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5-6
