The Game
April 1, 2015
Change the game don't let it play you, if you sit back and look the streets really made you, you think it's cute even cool,
untill you lose the gift god gave you,
i'm tierd of being like other people it just ain't right,
it's like i have no rules for my own life,
i'm a mother and it seems i've failed but why would i give up and go to hell, when my life was nothing but an unbalanced scale,
the change i've made to not return to jail,
the struggle was real i see no vail, if you stare into the eyes to reach the soul you can tell that my life was about to fold,
i could have been dead, you see, but i know that the change starts with me.

thank you so much.
I think you should try to keep this closer to the idea. You mention details such as being a mother, but that doesn't seem to match up with the rest of the poem. Also, some of the rhymes have been better and there were a few places where the grammar or spelling was incorrect. Altogether, I would recommend editing this to make it better.
