Im 23 But My Minds Older

Bigoted depression
Another man
Live until 100
Old man already
Life has been harsh
Living beyond my peers
No-one has seen my harshness
Or lived the harshness
Getting drunk on a Saturday night
While I was chased by police
Imprisoned in the life of hell
Bullied until Mental illness
No opportunities in the hood
Shook!
Not a chance in hell
I made life happen
Not anyone
Everyone gave up on me
I prevailed
Don’t mess with this
The harshness of life
I’m 23, but my minds older
