The Tough Times
Watching all these teenagers my age doing what I see
Could be just enough to break me
I’ve heard many story’s & saw many things
We all never know what tomorrow brings.
Leaving this world not knowing that you mean a lot
Just walking down the streets & seeing people get shot.
To look and see what this world has become
Just makes me want to cry because were all so young
Sometimes before you realize it, it’s too late
Because you’re already up to heaven’s gate
I’ve lost many friends
And the pain never seems to end
To see what their families have went through
Gives me something, not to look forward to.
I’ve been through the pain, & fought through the tears
Now all I can do is hope & wish; to live through the years
My heart goes out to the families of my friends
That have had their life come to an end.
But when it comes to the end of the night
I look at the sky & see them shining bright
