Inner City

I can’t deny that I’m a mess

I’m falling apart, I confess

Broken pieces float inside

Losing myself in my own pride

My heart pounds faster, faster

Look inside and see a huge disaster

Crumbling buildings falling, falling

My phone rings, my heart is calling

“Save me please from yourself

You’ve thrown your life up on a shelf”

Thrown my life to the side

To myself I have lied

Trying to be someone I am not

And my inner soul I have rot

But my heart begs for a change

I look at my life and rearrange

Reconstruct my inner city

My heart takes over the committee

Never again will I let myself fall

My inner city will now stand tall
