You Only Write Once #YOWO

Location

In the name of Allah, 

I start this letter,

As a child I dreamed of many dreams,

 All I wanted was for my mother to feel better,

Working 7AM to 3PM or 3PM to 11PM,

 To keep food on the table,

I wasn't the most popular kid,

Never did I receive that label,

But I always strived for success,

Because success will hand me the power to buy my parents a brand new Lexus,

Buy my parents a new house,

Buy my parents a pair of Nikes,

And all of their desires,

And one day I will find success,

But until that day,

I will keep composing my struggles,

Because you only write once,

Never do you write twice.

#YOWO.
