My Enemies

I heard they pulled for me

Came and read to me

Even washed my feet

They were my enemies

But they were kind to me

Though Im missing many teeth

Eat mostly canned sardines

I was not asked to leave

They were scared of me

But they took care of me

Hopeless

That’s the feeling I’ve been feeling

Like I’m bad at my job

Like I’m failing my people

Small Time, Unserious

My output is not good

I can’t afford anymore to be stupid

I don’t want to be poor

and I’m done being used to it

I’m in deep And I need

Just one more

Just one more

Just one more chance please

Then I’m with you all the way

They feed me Applebees

I get the apps for free

Except for monthly fees

They just say yes to me

They are obsessed with ne

I was rushed

I was rushed down to Vassar

They were compressing my chest

A total disaster

This time it’s serious

You’re outlook

Is not good

She said James

You’re mom won’t ever forgive

If I let her oldest son die in Poughkeepsie

Breath deep

I need just one more

Just one more

Just one more

Just one more breath please

And I’m with you all the way
