You are lucky
To have what
You don't deserve
Too slow to act
In a flick of time
You lose what you had
It's sad
But it's life
We judge with no facts
Agreeing with unsigned
Packs
I wonder what in this
Society we lack
Living in a dilemma
Life never fails to criticize
We are brought up on lies
Sometimes i wonder why
They lecture us when
We eat fries
You don't have to light the
Whole room to be bright
The firefly has it's own light
But has never lit up
The darkest night
Out of sight
Out of mind
When i get lost in my head
I close my eyes
I'm told all my wrongs
Are documented in a file
I've been lowkey for a while
Will i ever put on a suit and a tie
Send me a confidant
I need to express my pain
And the number of times i cry
I never tire looking up
In the sky
Just mesmerized by how birds
Spread their wings and glide
With a tap on the ground
It's lifted ready to fly
Breath and stay calm
It will all be alright...
I tell myself just to relax
In attempts to make my stand
On this world.
