What's my purpose

poem by: Marquis Stewart
Written on Jul 19, 2014

I'm a human being 
                          but to most I'm a burden, 
                       Nowhere to lay my head, 
                       people see me and think run 
                         but they all had me misread
                        my wife kicked me out, 
                        I deserve it for my ridiculous mouth, 
                        
                                   What's my purpose?, 
                                 Hard to express myself to others 
                                 I grew nervous, 
                                I want nice things 
                               But I have no money for purchase, 
                                Get to know me before you judge  
                                nobody has my back             
                                 better then my spine do, 
                                trust no one 
                              friends don't keep secrets like they used to, 

                                       What's my purpose?, 
                                     I'm not different 
                                  from any other person, 
                                  I wouldn't be here 
                             If my mom gotten that abortion, 
                           seeking guidance 
                         with these time limited options, 
                         my dad said I'm a failure 
                     how could I forgotten,  
                      when he pointed that gun at me 
                   I thought that would be my last goodbyes 
                 before I headed to a coffin, 
                  my name is Marquis think back 
                 and fix problems before they rotten,
