Fly High in My Heart

Flying high, looking up at the sky,

Mom and dad, I feel you near, no lie.

Memories deep, I carry them in my core,

Your love lives on, forevermore.

Still remember the day you both took your wings,

Left a void, but your spirit sings.

Every night I pray, wishing you could see,

The man I'm becoming, how I'm fighting to be.

Life's got me trapped on these blocks, serving rocks,

But I hold on to your love, steady like the clock.

I wish you were here, to tell me it’s gon’ be okay,

To wipe these tears, help me find a better way.

Mom, I love you, miss you so much,

Wish you could see me now, I’m trying, I’m in touch.

With my purpose, my passion, my music’s my voice,

Hoping for better days, just gotta make the choice.

Dad, I wish you could see me put the bottle down,

Pick up a pen, turn my life around.

Pour my heart into these verses, my soul into the beats,

Telling my story, overcoming these streets.

Thoughts of my nieces and family, keep me strong,

Striving every day to where I belong.

Love my family, more than my own life,

Fighting these struggles, reducing the strife.

Mom, Dad, I love you, you’re my guiding stars,

Fly high above, no matter where you are.

Your spirits inspire me to rise, to fight,

Living my truth, chasing the light.
