Composed by Quinntashia Roy
As, I look at the time
I ain’t trying to rhyme
Take a second to reflect on those we lost at Columbine
Such a tragedy it was
Those kids were just like us
HELL, it could have been us
Then the outbreak of sorrow, pain, anger and misery
Sudden awareness
How the hell could we be so damn careless?
Screams of justice and remembrance saying NEVER AGAIN
Could one of us commit such a sin
As time passed so many nights we go to sleep
With things left undone and pushed to the next day
Come- on! Haven’t we learned tomorrows not promised today?
Then there’s 9/11 well that’s that, there’s nothing left to say
We are the youth of the nation
Everything’s great Cuz the adults think they understand what’s written in the sand
Then on April 16th, 2007 Virginia Tech made Columbine look like a spec
Yea, so much for never again, huh, but this one was worse in the end
33 students never go home again
Never again to say a thing
Nor to enjoy another spring
We’re all the same
The pain we go through
The sorrow we feel
What makes us different are
The decisions we make
So they group us together
Because we wear black we’re dangerous
And you try saving me from myself
Cuz my life to you means everything
But in my past are things you still hold against me
No you cannot save me
But it’s not the time to breakdown
But to face yourself and let go
Cuz time moves on

Saint Sinner
Born innocent, this is how it all starts,
There is no good or evil, no right or wrong
There is one thing, something pure
With the best of intentions
Goodness at heart
Following all the rules
Turning the other cheek
Ever forgiving
Willing to bent over backwards
Give the shirt off my back
Putting others before me
Ever trusting the church
I was a saint
As time passes, this changes
Until a moment like now, when I wonder how I got here
How I got to this place,
I am darkness
I am pain
I am suffering
I am cold hearted
I am cruel
I am judgment
I am in my own personal hell
The descending darkness on my soul eats away at me
I’m falling faster and the further down I go, the more darkness will show
The goodness that was once there begins to go
As time moves on the colder I grow
Emotion begins not to show
And blood begins no to flow
Like ice in my veins its freezes
The cold radiates fro me like chilling breezes
This however affects more than just me
It affects all those who need me
See you all now will be shit out of luck
Because I’m getting to the point where I just dot give a fuck
I don’t fear the burden that I bear
But more so the fact that I lack the strength to care
And now I take my seat on the throne of ice
For the spite and vengeance in my burns with a fire
And I dance with the devil tonight
Because now knows my new found burning desire
I am now a sinner
I was once a saint
But I am now a sinner
I have become this through the darkness of life
But through all of this how could it be
That still there is some form of light
And on the darkest of days it still shines bright
Within me still lies
The eternal fight
Between darkness and light
Every church I pass
Every saintful sight
Every act of kindness
My Lord, My Salvation, My Symbol, My Cross
Not a second skips
Nor minute passes
Or hours has gone
Not a day goes by
Nor weeks be done
Or months move on
Without a cross around my neck
It is my show of respect
And it forever I must protect
I must have been pure enough to wear for all of these years
Every minute that I fought through those tears
Every single fear
He held me
Showed me the way
Goodness guided me
This world is a curel place
Perhaps I’m on of the few strong who is strong enough to deal with it.
The devil knows my desire
He wants me to reap from the fruits of his labor
But he is not my savior
I cannot dine with the devil, only dance with him
I will not willingly give up my soul
As dark as it may be its mine
Its gods gift to me an worth fighting for
I will dance with the devil
Because I am darkness
And it will never go
But I will dine in the light
Because I am cross
And it always shows
I am the keeper of the gate
I am its guardian
I am an archangel
I am a fallen
I am a Saint Sinner
There is no good or evil, no right or wrong
There is one thing, something pure
With the best of intentions
Goodness at heart
Following all the rules
Turning the other cheek
Ever forgiving
Willing to bent over backwards
Give the shirt off my back
Putting others before me
Ever trusting the church
I was a saint
As time passes, this changes
Until a moment like now, when I wonder how I got here
How I got to this place,

WHO AM I? …. I AM A CHAMPION!!!
Who am I!?
I will conquer what has never been conquered. Defeat will not be in my creed. I will believe where all those before me have doubted. I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor and respect of my team. I have trained my mind and now my body will follow!
WHO AM I? …. I AM A CHAMPION!!!
I will acknowledge the fact that I am an elite warrior who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by any means at my disposal. I accept the fact that my team expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than our opponents. Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be. One hundred percent and more
WHO AM I? …. I AM A CHAMPION!!!
Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well trained warrior. My heart and my soul will be the fuel to carry my body when my limbs are to weary. I will never falter, I will never lose focus as long as there is hope in my mind and my heart still beats. I will never give in to the evil that is weakness and I will fight that evil with my dying breath.
WHO AM I? …. I AM A CHAMPION!!!
Energetically will I meet my enemies, no one will challenge me, none will stop me from my goal. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Champion’s word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall at the hands of my enemy and under no circumstances will I ever surrender.
WHO AM I? …. I AM A CHAMPION!!!
Readily will I display the discipline and strength required to fight on to my objective and I will complete my mission. I will rise when I fallen. I will rip the heart from my enemy and leave it beating on the ground. My enemy need not fear me but he will respect me and if he does not. I will make him respect me with all that I have to give.
WHO AM I? …. I AM A CHAMPION!!!
History will remember my name and he will not have to be kind. For I will have denied his criticisms and put in my own praise, No one will define me, no one will tell me what I can achieve, none will say I have not given all I have to give and none will take my glory.
