A Better Me

Someday I’ll be away from you One day I will be able to breath I wait for this day like an angel in a cell I can’t wait to be free They think I’ve got it okay A roof, food, some clothes Life isn’t always about material Most people I thought would know I love when the little things make me happy It means I am not superficial They continuously throw snotty looks my way They wish their closure was the thing I’m into I have a passion far more worthwhile Than a millionaire or a dealer My dream has to do with life Which is something far realer I have an edge to my step Nothing compares to the rhythm If somehow it suddenly goes off track I move forward instead of miss it Everyone is so freaking judgmental Their lives must be dangerously corrupted Who cares what their problem is If they messed with others and loved it I’d hate to be the rebound On your fast pace of destruction Love to test on the so called weak We subtract from your reduction I am higher than you in many ways You are everything I am not Hours and hours of playing games While you feel your brain rot Why should I care if you’re sorry When did you deserve my grief All those years you meddled and made fun Since when did you turn a new leaf No, never will I give in to you I refuse to bow at your feet I am done with your childish lifestyle My new way is unique
