Never Easier.
I knew life wasn't easier the moment I grew up
With all the lies I've been fed while growing up, I threw up
I gathered my tattered clothes and I tried to sew up
I knew I've been lied to for so many years, so I blew up
With hunger and strong desire inside me, I knew I can afford to screw up
I didn't have a choice then, but I have a choice now, so I chew up
All the anger inside of me to blame others for my outcomes, I spew up
Now I know life isn't going to get any easier, I grew up
I grew up against the odds and the things stacked against me
I fought the odds and stopped making excuses for how I turned out
I might not have had a good start but who says I can't have a happy ending?
Everything I need is on the other side of fear, so I braced up
I tried daily to fight the ghosts of the past, I constantly stayed up
I kept my eyes on the ball even when I was led to the wolves
Like a lemon to lemonade, I came back leading the pack of wolves
What was meant to break me, suddenly, with sheer determination
Turned around to be the only source of strength I needed to soldier on
I know better now because each victory holds the key to more difficult things to come
Life wouldn't get any easier so I decided to toughen up
Like water off a duck's back, I ignored criticisms and I moved up
I would be lying to say it was easy but if it was, anyone could have done it, so, swoop up.
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
