Nothing Comes Easy

I wish it were all so simple.
I wish school, testing, and homework was as easy as busting a pimple.
But then it dawns and just about everything would fall.
And everyone would just know all.

No one could tell anyone anything.
Everybody would just figure out what was happening.
But if that were the case then what makes people unique would be lost.
Would the simplicity of knowing everything be worth that cost?

There are no shortcuts in life and that’s something I must never forget.
Wishing isn’t going to get me anywhere but if time were to elapse it will only leave me to regret.
So I know what I got to do. Do I want to do it? No, but I don’t want to fail in life
Especially if I want to support my future kids and wife.

Nothing comes easy.
Not even when people try to make a living being sleazy.
So if I want to make my dream a reality.
I have to become a completely, new being of functionality.
