Array ( [sid] => 117195 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => against all odds [time] => 2006-03-28 02:14:48 [hometext] => what draws us to fight our inner demons? do we see things, others don't? please comment afterwards...peace [bodytext] => It seems like everyone is out to question my faith... Sometimes I wonder if their just trying to push me to my fate.... How can the people I love, love me with hate?

They looked me in my eyes, and asked me if "I" was scared to die... You see, the eyes never lie and it's the ones' whom you hold close, that want to see your demise, they take whats yours, and smile as you die.

On the streets, there wasn't anyone that doubted the loyalty of my heart... It's like when you live for nothing, you take other peoples' drama and tear them apart... And the ones' that claim to be down, are the first to depart... That's why God made us with different parts; He knew no coward could ever have a strong heart.

But I decided to take my losses and carry on... I forgave, but will never forget the ones' that did me wrong... You see, I knew change was coming, I just didn't think it would of took this long.

It was tupac that once said, "it's gonna take the man in me, to conquer this insanity."... Well he was right, and now I fight... Against all odds.

Hey Thuggin! Powerful writing. The only changes to be made are spelling. For instance their should be they're or they are. This poem reads so well. It's cadence works with the rhythm of the word choices. You have talent. Write every day and grow your art. In poetry a writer can spell a word anyway he wishes. However some words such as "their" when you really mean "they're" should be spelled correctly in order to convey the very powerful message you impart. Stay true, Hautebush
