Debt

DEBT Slowly creeping up Under my watch not a single hair follicle jumped A beautiful leopard at a distance And I lost in the moment Birds flipping their wings As though applauding to this cause Yet evident are the rings under my eyes Bags of horror and misery One perhaps would say unnecessary My priorities were blinded totally misplaced Now am in it, am seriously in for it See I didn't plan to get here I work hard to not get here Hell I work extra to not be here But somehow it all led me here and yes I mean the hard work, the hustle the getting ahead That which I saw was far from beauty Now Its clear that was a sting under my skin And now this thing is with me all the time Am under it, it's around me A shadow never seeming to leave me A shake never drying my fur How now can I escape this air that I created It was a place of fun once, The spending, the smiles I was there But now am here Curtains are down I can't pay it back Not on my own A monster I can't feed Too much for me to service
