we spend a lot of time on twin size mattresses
our heads weigh unto the pillow,
and our thoughts are so heavy
we spend a lot of time breaking out of conventional ways

falling asleep not sure if i'd wake up
and praying i don't someday have to sell myself
just to make ends meet.

when we weren't sure where our next meal would come from
every day my brain battles me,
but i'm strong enough to someday win the war.
