Just give me 10 minutes.

All I need is 10 minutes alone,

To vibe with my own thoughts so I can get out this poem.

I need to roam through my memories to recall my past,

Just give me these 10 minutes- That's all I ask.





I'm not asking for much- Just some time to myself,

To rethink my strategy- Maybe ask for some help.

I need some time to think- To try and figure out my life,

It's like I love my girl to death but she's trynna be a wife.

And I ain't ready.

Naa- I'm still too immature,

I do all I can but she deserves so much more.

And People expect so much from me- But I'm only one person,

I'm just trying to let people know they're not the only one hurting.

But I'm being pulled in different directions- Expectations I have to top,

With the world on my shoulders- What would happen if I just stopped.

Would the world stand still or continue to move around me,

I've resorted to chasing dreams while failure still surrounds me.

My hearts swollen with pride but my minds filled with anger,

These days when I look in the mirror my own reflections a stranger.

And the stranger things get- The more stress that's placed upon me,

Like Im the only one with hope so everyones depending on me.

And If I don't make it what happens- Guess I'll continue being poor,

They ask me if it's worth all this- And honestly, I'm not so sure.



Just give me 10 minutes.

All I need is 10 minutes alone,

To vibe with my own thoughts so I can get out this poem.

I need to roam through my memories to recall my past,

Just give me these 10 minutes- That's all I ask.



If I become human and buckle under the pressure,

Will anyone still believe that Tha Poet is still special.

Or will I lose that title and be noticed as imperfect,

No longer the answer- Just a washed up wordsmith.

Full of potential but containing no ambition,

But you can look through my archives- I've told you something's missing.

I'm a man on a mission- Fishing for hope without bait,

I'm stuck here wishing- Praying for answers without faith.

My life is a work in progress- But the rain delays progression,

The overcast overshadows any hope for future blessings.

My future seems to lessen- With each and every passing day,

I've watched my own hope fade- Seen my dreams pass away.

Yet to me they still say- "Don't forget us when you make it",

"The little people in your life"- I get a ray of light and they wanna take it.

I can't seem to shake it- This curse that follows me,

Doctors don't think I'll make it- Cuz Life has hollowed me.

I've given you all of me- I hope you followed me from the beginning,

I'll bare my soul for all to see- All I ask is that you give me 10 minutes.



Just give me 10 minutes.

All I need is 10 minutes alone,

To vibe with my own thoughts so I can get out this poem.

I need to roam through my memories to recall my past,

Just give me these 10 minutes- That's all I ask.
