Wounded Warrior

My brother you are sacred
The moment you doubted your power
Your worth became forsaken
Lost in the trenches of your mind

The pistol you carry is a disgrace
To the energy you carry within
I double dare you to body
The pain that kept you suffering

It is an invitation to rewind
And remind yourself that your worthy
To feel and be loved by
The feminine essence that dwells
Within the well of your vessel

Your heart breaks like a pretzel
But your love is deeper
Then the barrel of the revolver.
It bangs the strength of 
A thousand rhinos
Stampeding a zoo’s exit

My brother you are powerful
Laced with passion and purpose
Pushing piles or pressure
Through the thoughts of emotional
Suppression you thought was acceptance

The street never hug you
It buried you in survival
The trenches became your bench
And coach never brought you 
Back in after that fumble

The humble stumbled
The rock you fumbled
Drenching your socks
After every reception
Tuned pain into a interception

You missed the parts
That lay resting in your youth
That missing tooth
Was a distant root 
Rambling and gambling dice
As if spades didn't have a suit

You haven't learned the lesson
Instead you fear the blessing
Stressing about how you became
Strong but the prison became 
Your deepest regression

How can the hood love you?
When every alley way
Has a bullet stray
Trash that couldn’t can itself
Robbing you of your sanity
Driving you deeper in insanity

The key is within you
Sown to the inner you
That genius never left
He stayed buried behind the stress
You just forgot to meditate 
After taking deep breaths

You will take a life
Instead of taking heights 
To the top of your mountain
With tears that flow 
from your internal fountains

There has never been a bounty
Just a misrepresentation
Of energy escaping the prison
Locked up in your soul

Until you pick the lock
That bullets couldn't leave
Unless you traded in that glock
For a pause to reflect
Your soul is craving depth
Emotions foretold the stress
There’s a treasure behind your chest
