Class of 2003

In disbelief I ponder the years So many trips around the sun I dry a tear, while sitting here Oh the things I could have done Earned a degree in language arts Or graphic design perhaps But I didn't start, not in my charts I didn't complete the math Financial distress, I caused The parents who paved my way Missed every ball that was tossed A fool who couldn't play I see the class of 2003 The ones who took control They're not like me, they couldn't be I have a broken soul Searching for reason to my rhyme Disappointment rings daily Time has become slippery slime How it gets away from me Each day I begin a mission A scheme to become fulfilled It's only wishing, I'm bait less fishing Repairing the holes I've drilled But one thing is most certain The clock will tic and tock Just a person with a burden A worm beneath a rock
