Peace with blessings. This is Seven, Travis Nettles, with these few words that I call “Fighting For an Out Date,” because that’s exactly what I’m doing.

I say, what would you do if you were locked inside a cell,
Fighting for a out date?
Having thoughts of never going home,
Bring nothing but pain and heartache.
Some of the ones you love do not like to give,
But would rather take.
Things most people do for you they throw it right back in your face.
The relationships you have seem to be erased.
You are not around, for someone else has taken your place.
You lack the support you need.
So many people have lost their faith.
They do not believe you will make it home.
Kids might forget who you are once they become grown.
When you keep it too real with no filter,
Most people feel you are wrong.
But who’s to say you are wrong or right
When you are the one fighting for your life?

When you really need help,
A lot of people go stiff.
Being very dependent is very bad for your health.
When you ask people, how are they doing?
They talk about their wealth.
When they ask you how are you doing?
They have a smile inside their breath.
When you express how you feel,
They say you always thinking about yourself.
[unclear] for an out date will show you who you really have left.
You will see who really love you or not.
You will see who really cherish you a lot.

Money not everything, and time is very priceless.
A letter, a card, or a picture, is righteous.
The sound of affection mentally is vital.
The way people treat you will determine if they become your rival.
So could you imagine fighting for an out date?
How would you feel?
Do you know the right words to say?
A person mind and heart,
Is not nothing to be played with.
You will never know what’s going on inside that person head.
Your support, in any way,
Could be the main reason why that person is not dead.
So when you do feel like your life is really tough,
Falling for an out date will probably make you give up.

I’m Seven, and that’s what I’m going through. And of course you’re fighting for true justice, that you’re able to get a fair trial. And you can also check me out at Justice for Seven podcast. I’m on Spotify, Apple podcast, Google podcast and Anchor App, and the way that I support myself is fashion, helping people who’s out there and they might get into fashion and peaceful blessings. Thanks again for your time and energy.
