Definitions of My Life
by
Eddie Tacub
Pt. 1
So many feelings running through my head
I'm reflecting on my past
What I did, what I saw, what people said
It would be hard to believe
If I told you everything my eyes have seen
I seen my grandpa take his last breath
I've been through a bombing
Bag & tagged a little baby
I was scared to death
He was 6 months old, I saw his head cracked
120 days seemed a life time in the country of Iraq
Never I thought I'd ever see American soil
Every time I woke up, my heart would start to boil
I was sweating everyday even if outside was cold
It's because I was in fear of my life
With nothing and no one to hold
I need prescriptions for the descriptions
Of the life time pain & memories
I guess I'm thankful just to be alive
And not sleeping permanently in a cemetery
That's one of the things I regret
Sometimes I just wish I never went
Maybe this was punishment for everything I did bad
I just wonder how life would be
Wrapped up in a body bag
Pt. 2
Now I'm still here
It's 2005 and I'm still alive
I'm still struggling
Dealing with these emotions in my life
A different person in the same body
My life struck gold after I discoverd a "hottie"
A girl that I had dreams about for years
She took away a lot of my pain and tears
I'm here, the happiest ever
I received numerous shots by cupid
So I'm feeling a whole lot better
I'm definitely in love
So thankful from the One above
Here me when I say these words to you
I want to marry you one day
I hope you do too
Because my feelings are strong and forever true
So I'll end this by telling you my favorite words
QT Pie, I LOVE YOU!!!
