Awareness


Aware

That money is short

That money is spent relentlessly

That money is robbed

 

Abused

My parents don't listen

Money doesn't grow on trees

College isn't a free program

My parents think differetly however

 

Aware

Of the dillema of a life I live in

That my childhood relies on my parents

 

Inconsideration

Life is a "Dog-Eat-Dog

Step over the competition like stairs to succeed

Even if it costs you your familiarity

 

Aware

That my siblings leech away money

That in front of my eyes I watch my future dwindle away

 

Fate

Life is what you make of it

To advance, ambition is required

In the end all that matters is you

 

Aware

That my chances of getting a car are gone

That my college money vanished

Of my urgency to adapt

 

Wrong

I’m always told that it’s not true

That everything is gonna be fine

 

Aware

That it was all my siblings' fault

That all those overpriced things cost money

That my existance was made difficult

 

Acceptance

I know what my future hold

Of the path I must take

 

Aware

Of what I must do

That life is a test of endurance

That I never had help
