Life
For anyone asking
My life is a mess
Which has my heart gasping for breath
As it fight this everlasting battle with stress
Still im expected to progress
Above the hardships of life
That of which I can no longer adress
So now its just on with the next
And the next, and the next
And now im perplexed
With this notion in my mind to be the best
Till my best is the best and greater than the rest
So all can see it shinning bright on my chest
But even then would it be enough?
Will in the end I come out tough?
Tough enough to fly high and hold you negativity above my head
Hold it high for everyone to see the tears I shed
And its beginning to turn into a nasty thread
For the girl next door has the same aspiration before she reaches her death bed
But her story is different from mine you see
For she dies before she could ever be
And that story is sad to say,
Is what I always thought would come my way
And it becomes a vicious cycle you know
As I dodge the bullets from the gun that life holds
Forced by the destiny I once bestowed
So yes my life is a mess
But its mess is my work in progress
