Never Give Up
By Willie Pruitt
I close my eyes to open them and see what I’m stuck in the same place that I did not leave
It’s been awhile now but it still feels like a dream, being caged like a wild animal has become a harsh reality
I wonder if they think of me?
This disease I let into my thoughts, o where’s the sympathy
Some nights I shed tears on my knees just to see if he’s listening
Only to tell myself that I’m tripping…”Never give up”
You put yourself here, do your time and go home
Everybody plays a violin, these days it’s usually the same sad song
Countless years wasted in a place I don’t belong
Mentally, spiritually and emotionally people give up everyday, which is the reason I vow to stand strong
Family and my home, yeah I miss that
My situation I will never allow it to have me take steps back
I done grew into a man now, you don’t’ like me, I’ll accept that
I’m heading to a place of excellence where I’m succeeding off my setbacks
So in the process, I sit back and tell myself…”Never give up”
Days Like This
By Willie Pruitt
I write from the soul, so that others can relate
I’ve been through things in this world that others
Couldn’t take
Bent, broken, shattered and lost, living my life without a care
Or a cause
Been stuck at the bottom, so I know how it feels
Thoughts manipulating my mind like why should I live
This is really real
I’ve seen the tears from my family’s eyes. I gotta
Disappear
Because I feel the way they feel inside, this pain is
Really here
Most days I was hiding behind my own lies, ‘cause I was
Really scared
Was fighting demons almost every night, my soul been
Gone for years
But now I’m here
So that others can have hope and battle everything they fear
Our God, he really hears and I am living proof of the fact
That he took my out the jungle and I ain’t ever looked back
I now live in peace with my soul at ease
We all have “days like this”, but the difference now is,
I hit my knees…
Losing Me While Loving You
By Willie Pruitt
Ask yourself…
Have you ever felt a love like this
Where it hurts so bad you’d like to slice both wrists
You’d give anything in the world to go back to the days of happiness
Oh, I wish, I wish, I wish
Now thoughts cross my mind that I know shouldn’t exist
Flows I’ve got ‘em, mistakes I’ve made ‘em but should they hurt like this
Look I just want to be a different man, I’m wishing that I could get the chance
Feelings change and so do people btu that’s something I don’t understand
Was it real or was you playing
Got my mind going round and round and round like a ceiling fan
But here I am giving all I got
Seems all I got to you ain’t enough
Here in this cell living life in hell
Everything you’ve hit me with was all a bluff
Enough is enough, no more pain I can take
I’m losing me while loving you
Ain’t that some sad stuff to say….
Staring Out My Window
By Willie Pruitt
I’ve traveled
To unknown places and seen unknown things
Like a bird in the sky
As the wind beats my eyes, while I spread my wings
For a moment I am free
From a place of misery, oh the joy that it brings
Most days I conversate with God
In here there’s a lot going on but he’s the peace to everything
To the moon and back
As the sky turns black, I am in a world of my won
Really uncertain
Of what tomorrow may bring, but for right now I’m
Staring out my window
You Are Not Alone
By: Willie Pruitt
Days I’ve prayed and asked the Lord to take my life.
All the pains that you feel, know I’ve felt the same inside.
Tears worse than stormy weather no umbrella by my side
I know they said it’ll be OK, but I’m barely fighting to survive.
Now doing time ain’t hard, except for months without no mail
Have you ever stood in a courtroom for a judge to say no bail?
And your loved ones on the outside feels like the love is no longer there.
I care, because we are in the same shoes . . .
“You Are Not Alone!”
