Climbing My Way To Poverty
I'm stressed out
Sitting on this recliner couch,
Which I happen to live on
Because sadly things didn't work out at home
Instead of flying from the nest,
I was pushed
And came tumbling down
Bumping into everything my eyes could see
I saw this as an opportunity
To be greater than what I had been around
Everyone,
Everything,
Every person has a calling
Trying to find my niche
I turned towards college
Thinking there I'd find the missing puzzle piece
The key to prosperity
I'd be successful in life, IF I got my degree
But our system is backwards
We've lost touch with what education is really about
When I think of higher learning
I don't think of success
My mind conjures dollar signs,
Heavy sighs and incessant cries
Because I'm stressed
Why do I have to pay more than I'll make in my lifespan?
All for the sake of "bettering myself"
Poverty on top of poverty does not equal wealth
This isn't how learning is supposed to be...
If only my college education was free
