if it was what it wasn't  I would be making millions try and build myself a kingdom every dollar bill I'll spend to make it so overly extravagant but it is what it is and up to my neck in bills quickly dodging overdrafts and bad credit want to invest in more than assets but in common sense cause I'm over exhausted and overspent if it was what it wasn't I'd never shed a tear in my life let me make it clear I spent too much time drying eyes and the pain will subside makin me feel alive but it is what it is and I'm finding myself drowning eyes blurred like vision impossible no one to quiet the cries and I'm prayin for peace while salt water broken dreams and saline roll down my cheeks if it was what it wasn't I would let things be maybe accept what happened to me how things can be unfair except all we've got is reality now that's a scary statement... not because of reality but because of the word, "we" the weight of this responsibility is placed upon everyone since it is what it is immediately erasing poverty political war fair, corruption, homes that are forclosin, destruction, deforestation, genocide, **** famine, inequality, racism, the loss of the definition associated with that of being a human... the inability to accept this is all happening and that weight is too great we wait and wait we toil in turmoil and hate that displaced our anger released clenched fists it is what it is because if was what it wasn't I would be a higher power like I don't know; God, the dahli lama, Buddha or Allah I wouldn't need to solve problems, would already have all the answers
