Array ( [sid] => 85985 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => BACK DOWN [time] => 2005-02-28 13:59:12 [hometext] => ITS CRAZY HOW IN LIFE, ITS YOUR EXPERIANCES THAT SHAPE WHO YOU REALLY ARE AND HOW MUCH YOU CAN REALLY TAKE BEFORE ITS ENOUGH.THIS IS JUST ANOTHER CHAPTER OF MY LIFE,PLEASE ENJOY [bodytext] => HOW MUCH CAN YOU TAKE BEFORE ITS ENOUGH?
GUESS YOU CAN CALL ME THE DOG WITHOUT A RUFF.
I HARDLY EVER SPOKE
CAUSE I WASN'T ONE TO BARK
REVENGE IS ALWAYS SWEET
BUT ITS BETTER AFTER DARK
MY STOMACH WAS NEVER EMPTY
SO I WAS ALRIGHT
IF YOU DIDN'T BURN THIS BRIDGE
THEN YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO FEEL THIS BITE
IT'S FOREVER BEEN ME AGAINST THE WORLD
BUT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THE UNDERDOG
SO OF COURSE I MADE IT THROUGH THIS FIGHT
I'VE BEEN PUNCHED, KICKED AND EVEN BRUISED
IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH ABUSE
THEY WOULD FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO USE
IV'E NEVER BEEN FRIENDLY
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I DIDN'T HAVE A HEART
PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WOULD OF BEEN EASY TO KILL ME
BUT ONLY GOD CAN TAKE ME APART
I WALKED THE STREETS WITH MY HEAD HELD HIGH
I DIDN'T FEAR ANYTHING
CAUSE I WAS BORN TO DIE
I DEFEATED MY ENEMIES
AND COVERED MY TRACKS
I NEVER TRUSTED FRIENDS
CAUSE ONLY GOD HAD MY BACK
ANGELS WATCHED OVER ME NO MATTER WHAT I DID
LIFE HAS BEEN HARD
BUT ITS BEEN LIKE THAT EVER SINCE I WAS A KID
NOTHING HAS BEEN HANDED TO ME
I'VE ALWAYS PAID MY DUES
YEAH, I'VE HAD MY STRUGGLES
BUT I MANAGED TO MAKE IT THROUGH
THIS HEART WAS FULL OF RAGE
IT WAS LIKE I WAS TRAPPED IN A CAGE
I'VE KEPT MY SANETY
WHILE OTHERS WENT DERANGED
SO I'VE TAKEN MY BEATING WHEN I WAS A PUP
BUT ASK WHY PEOPLE FEAR ME NOW
THAT I'M ALL GROWN UP [comments] => 2 [counter] => 185 [topic] => 65 [informant] => THUGGIN4REAL [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )

This is a powerful, strong and deep write.
You express yourself so clearly amidst your poem.
I'm so sad and sorry you've had it hard in your life and it's so true when you say, " experiences in life shape you up to who you are."
Good write otherwise. keep it up
