Struggles

Sat, 08/31/2013 - 22:41 -- 1468513

Open my lonesome eyes

to see the days goes by

tears dripping down my eyes

my smile became a frown

while under my mom’s name

eating welfare as part of my life

no one there to help

instead of yourself

struggling through life and pain

when everyday's the same

can’t even get spoil

when there's only enough on the table

wondering myself if there’s a better day

to take this pain away

telling myself to be brilliant

prove to the world who I’m really am

hoping one day my future kids will never experience, what I have back then
