I See
I see people cheating everyday—
As well as being cheated on
Not only in relationships,
But with the system.
I see the kid across the street getting busted for drugs
But the next day his dad buys him a Mustang.
I see the some kids getting awarded for such accomplishments—
Even though they cheated their way through school.
I see my dad staying up every night looking for a job—
For the past three years.
I see my mom stressing out
wondering how the rent is going to be paid.
I see my brother not giving a fuck of what others think of him
And I see myself looking in the mirror
Wondering how this could happen to a family that does all good.
But as I look in the mirror I see a brighter future,
Not just for me…but for everyone.
