Jinxed
This day for me started out a little jinxed
The one person that I wanted to see
I never got to meet
Than it's parent teachers nite
My palms are sweating
Cause my mom decides to come
My mood is filled with anticipation
I want to walk into a room
and just have him sitting there
Alone
But when i'm looking he never appears
and i'm disappointed
My only option for credit recovery
Is to dance a hip hop dance
and within myself find self discovery
But I can't identify my heart in this matter
So I try to defy
Against all kinds of helping hands
and guidance
I don't know how many times their going to say
If you screw this up your throwing your life away
I pretty much know this
So hearing it over and over again
Just made me sink lower
So now this is the last straw
With a mad look on my face I walk out the door
I haven't see my guy, My mom won't pick up (Never good)
and my life seems messed up
So I left with my friends and caught the bus
Got home too early
Feeling beat up
Ironically
My mom's in bed she didn't even go to the meeting
I wake up the next morning and open the paper
A shooting had occurred where I worked
Just after I left
I would've have been there if my day hadn't been so jinxed
Thanks faith for saving me
I really appreciated your Generosity
