A
s a child I wondered
what my future would be
and how I would live my life.
Every day I wake up
and notice what has changed
and how things ain’t right.
Then reality strikes
and it’s like the world
is dropping bombs on me.
I hear what I see
but the world never understands me;
we all feel pain and most won’t agree.
But if you bleed blood
your life can be cut off
like a tree.
My thoughts are created
and my actions show
what I have learned.
We all cool off
because in life
you will always get burned.
Deal with it properly,
be patient
and wait your turn.
These words that I speak
shall always be true
and should always be heard!
