The Second Time My eyes Opened
The second time my eyes opened
I was broke with bills to pay
I was scorched with others pain
I was lacking and lost my way
The second time my eyes opened
My walls of insecurity
that once was protecting me
was now chaining my feet
The second time my eyes opened
I realized grown ups aren't gods
And I need to take care of myself
Because life is gonna be hard
The second time my eyes opened
much like the first
I couldn't see anything
vary much like birth
My future was uncertain
And all I could see was pain
I saw it in my mother
And I saw it within me
I vowed to over come
my child-like tendancies
and to keep moving forward
because the world won't wait on me
The second time I opened my eyes
I realized that I've been shealtered so much
and I need to grow stronger
now that, that shealter is gone
