I ain't slaking

I ain't slaking, was just checking,

before long, life started breaking,

had not much, odds were staking, 

against me, so I kept faking... 

World's unfair, you feel me,

I had failure, seldom wins,

been taken for many rides,

still I endured, being tough skin. 

I ain't slaking, was just checking, 

finding ways, to have it working,

taking odd jobs, did some settings,

to receive positions, of my liking. 

It's all sweat and blood,

I never begged or stole,

don't go by my appearance, 

I was once enrolled... 

I ain't slaking, was just checking,

do forgive me, if it was upsetting, 

and swear, I am not neglecting, 

every day, I have been progressing. 

For, I regret, mistakes committed, 

was too soon, for leaving the nest,

so I promised, to turn things around,

reform myself, and return...

Into the folds of society.
