Forgiveness

They say life is 10% of what happens to us & the other 90% is how we react to it. Our reactions matters a lot. How we deal with anger, how we deal with failure, how we deal with mistakes.

Couple of years back I & my childhood friend had a plan..We’re both artiste…We do our songs together, we perform on stage together, same genre, same flows, same goals.

And then I brought up an idea..I told my friend.

“Brother,  I think it’s best we write all the songs we wanna make through out this year”

And at the end of the year let’s pile them up into one huge mixtape. That way our fans would get everything at once..

He loved the idea.. So we started work..I never knew he had other intentions. We worked on the lyrics for 6 month & then on the 7th month I heard a song from an unknown artiste. With the same lyrics as the ones we wrote.

At first I couldn’t believe it..I thought maybe my mind was playing some sort of a trick on me.So I downloaded the song to listen again..I listened & listened till I came into conclusion..

“This is my song ”

I called my friend,  gave him the song to listen. He listened to it & then he acted like there was nothing wrong..

Like,  “Dude, this is supposed to be our song” The lyrics in that song. IT’S OURS..  WHY ARE YOU ACTING WEIRD.??

That day we had a huge misunderstanding. I decided to take a break, visit my cousin in the next state ..

Maybe when I come back Everything would be alright. Cause I don’t like it when we fight..

Two weeks later I got a call from my mom that I should come home..There are some guys looking for me & they’re pissed off..

I was like  “WTF”! Who could they be..I packed my bags & started heading home..

I got home couple of hours later..Stressed out & hungry. Then there was a knock on my door..I went to see who it was..!!

“Who are you guys”I said…”Where is it”? One of them replied..Where is what?  WHO ARE YOU GUYS??  I Yelled..

As fast as lighting one of them gave me an uppercut. Before I could get myself another blow landed on my chest & then a kick.

Blow, Kick,  Blow, Kick, Blow.. ..I was bleeding badly. And then I was asked the same question again..”WHERE IS IT”?

Look, I said almost crying..I don’t know what you’re talking about..If it’s money that you want I have little & I’m ready to give you everything. Please Just leave me Alone..PLEASE..

“YOU CAN TAKE MY PHONE & PC” Please take them & just Go..

& then the Biggest one (Which is probably their leader)  Said..”We’re not here to rob you “You stole something from us..WHERE IS IT??

I said where is what??

I could see the Anger in his face & I know if I said one more thing I’d probably lose my arm,  Leg,  or worse that night..

And then he said..”WHERE IS THE REST OF MY LYRICS” ?

You see, this is where it gets interesting..

You remember I told you about the idea I had with my friend?

We would write bunch of songs for a whole year & sing all at once..Have it in Albums/mixtapes

You see after writing those songs for 6 month my friend decided to start selling them to unknown artistes 1 by 1…

Apparently he’s sold 6 different songs successfully & the 7th one was supposed to be successful if the other half of the song wasn’t in my custody..

And these guys beating me right now..these guys paid for the song. My friend duped them by giving them half of the song Before he moved out..

And as soon as I realized that I knew these guys weren’t here to play.. They came for what’s theirs And they’re going to take it if it means sending me to COMA in process..

I went to my room..Copied every lyrics I’ve ever written for the past 6 month into a flash drive & then I gave it to them..

They left..But the damage has been done..I stayed in the hospital for 3months & when my friend heard what had happened to me, He got scared..He couldn’t confront me..He couldn’t call…

And for the past 3 months I haven’t heard anything from him..But

I’ve forgiving him..

Tho I need him to explain things to me..Tell me,  it was all a huge mistake. Tell me he’s sorry..

But, I guess he’s too scared. Thinking I’d hate him forever.
