Carry on

What can I say?

It's like every single day.

Tryna get by and watching the time fly.

What is this all for? Can I even make it anymore?

Work so hard, but I am never home.

Leaving these kids all alone.

 

I know... I do it for the day.

One day I know that I will be okay.

 

I will be a provider.

Just like my dad.

I will learn to live the life I never had. 

 

Never knew I could get this far.

Because everyday life is so hard.

Associate's, Bachelor's, and now my Master's.

Life is getting so much faster.

 

School and work over and over again, Just tell yourself to carry on.
