I Used To Dream

Invested in the future Underlying l'm scum but glitter Secretly a piece of the two Excavating all that I wanted to be Dared to be someone, but who? Tried to be the best but was the worst Ordained to be nothing more than cursed Desiring to be rid of my low income world Rendering my best effort to be the top Envisioning a better future for myself Ambitious to see if I would flop Mightily working until I drop
