Tired of livin' paycheck to paycheck
And im even more tired of strugglin''Somethins' gotta give, Because just some ol' regular 9 to 5 aint cuttin' itIm sick of wakin up one day, Wonderin' what the next ones' gon' bringThey say poetry is my calling, but tell me ..Why wont that motha sucka ring?!Wheres' my opportunities? How much closer am iTo my dreams?Of being internationally known...Let me know because im tired of waitingMy birthday is comin' up...I will be 23... Years youngAnd honestly...i could yell "F my birthday!!" To the very top of my lungsJust because...i aint happy...Theres' not a lick of joy within meAfter payin' all of these bills, i cant believe my pocketsIs empty!!I often think of stripping...Just the thought of it is temptingBut because of how my mother raised me,I dnt think i even got it in meI cant win for losin' !! Im always on my blues ishi contemplate bout' givin up' , but givin' up is mighty foolishSo i guess ill grab my notebook, and jot down an ol' to-do lidtI just got to make a change, but when and how am i gon' do thos?My thoughts is leakin', pen is inkinI dont have time to cry!I saw 1 tear startin' to fall, opened my eyes wide and let it dryI swear...i got to stop worrying about the struggles in my lifethese are just a few of the thing thats on my troubled little mind

odonko-ba says: it's a shame the we have to go through just to eat to survive life is a torment thrown upside down we have to find our balance. you seemed to have found yours in poetry. keep writing. and let nothing still your joy. cause indeed your moms raised you right. |
