See As I Sit Here Trying To Learn The Basics Of This Game Again..
The Same Basics I Learned Back When I Was Ten...
I Know They Are Some Where In The Back Of My Mind…
Just Been A While So I Just Pushed Them So Far Behind..
But Poetryvibe Wants To Know The Chains I Need To Break…
Well I Live By The Quote Your Future Is What You Make..
But If You Lived In My Shoes Since Day One You Wouldn’t Believe That Quote..
So Sit Down And Just Take Note..
My Parents Put Me In Debt Before I Hit 18…
The Things My Parents Did To My Life I Never Seen…
So The Chain I Need To Break Is Worth 12,000 Cash…
As Far As My Life Goes I Look At It Like Trash..
So Much For Parents That Suppose To Better Your Life…
With Nothing To Show But 12 Grand In Debt Who Would Wanna Be My Wife..
But That Is Just The Beginning..
After High School I Thought I Finally Started Winning..
Thought I Could Go To College And Be What I Wanted To..
But Listen To What Parents Decided To Do…
Financially I Couldn’t Pay For School So I Applied For Financial Aid..
This Is When Failures Started To Enter Like Cascade..
My Parents Decided Not To Files Their Taxes…
So I Got On The Phone And Started Sending Faxes..
Trying To By Pass Around The Whole Parent’s Info…
But One Lady Asked Me If I Knew How Trouble I Would Get Into..
So I Have To Wait Till I'm 23 To Not Have To Include My Parents Info..
Now 22 With Not Even A GPA To Show For Myself..
And My Pens And Notebooks Sitting On The Shelf..
A Lot Of People Told Me To Get Emancipated..
At This Point In My Life Me And My Parents I Don’t Even Want To Be Related..
So I Have To Break A Lot Of Chains Before I Can Even Brush Against My Dreams..
Let Me Sum It All Up My Parents Aren’t Parents They Put Me In Debt Before My Late Teens..
Won’t File Their Taxes So I Can’t Go To College…
But That Doesn’t Affect Them It’s Something They Won’t Even Acknowledge..
So Forget The Chains I Got Concrete Barriers To Break Through..
With My Hands Tied Too..
Cause Their Is Nothing I Can Do…
All I Want To Do Is Go To School Become An Accountant And Finally Have A Smile..
Cause That Smile Hasn’t Existed On My Face In Awhile..
But There Are My Concrete Barricades I Have To Demolish To Achieve My Goals..
22 And My Life Looks Like Swiss Cheese With All These Holes..
