Hold You Down

"Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet."

Nobody knows what I go through

Wish you could put yourself inside my shoes

You got friends that ain't friends no more

They don't understand the life I chose

See the money and the fame

It can hurt everything you love

Got some people that depend on me

And I can't give up

They don't know what I'm going through

They don't know what I'm going through

I choked up on stage and just stopped as I covered my face, holding my head down. This song just had so many experiences tied in I couldn't bare. My own personal struggles,Mercedes played this when she cut and I just lost my child .

"AUGUST!!" I heard someone say, coming up behind me. "August it's alright,it's alright."

They raised my face up and it was Mercedes.i got up and hugged her as I rocked us from side to side. The crowd continued to cheer even if this was their first time ever seeing Mercedes.

"August I'm here for you." Mercedes said looking in my eyes as hers was watery. I nodded as I kissed her and hugged her around the head.

"I luh you baybeh." I whispered.

"I love you too August." She said giving me a slight smile before walking backstage again. I tucked my lips as I looked out to the crowd..

I went backstage and took a deep breathe. August been having these breakdowns and depression since the incident, of course I was too but I'm trying to stay positive at this point but it's like August is taking it harder the more time passes.

I sat down in a chair and just listened to the concert, shaking my leg. He changed the song so he should be fine now.

I needed to cheer him up some type of way so I got my purse and headed to the bus.

"Aye Tito!" I said as I climbed on the bus, he put his food down. He always eating.

"Wassup Benz?" He asked.

"Can you take me to the store for a second?" I asked, he nodded.

I sat in the back as he started the bus, turning off the street. I ran my fingers through my hair as my phone buzzed.
