My Struggle
You say I haven’t struggled
But yet you don’t know
Of the life I’ve lived
The things I’ve done
And the scars I wear
My life’s been full
Of struggles
My life’s been like a roller coaster
My life been full of pain
Life has eaten me
And spite me back out
But yet you say I’m
To “young” to know
What it really means to struggle
Have you walked in my shoes?
Have you lived my
Life for a day
Have you done the things?
I’ve done my whole life
You say I haven’t struggled but
I’ll tell you this
Life alone is a struggle
So before you criticize
My life and pains and
Say what I have and haven’t done
Let me ask you
Have you really struggled?
