I Will Break Away


I will break away. I will break away from the walls that hold me. I will break away. I will break away from the lies they've told me. In the past, but not forgotten, are the struggles I remember. In the past, but not forgotten, are the let downs of each December. I always knew my father lied, he said he would come and see me, and I had high hope. Let down, after let down, while my back's against the rope. But no not me, I will not fall victim, This world isn't cold enough to stop me, So keep yelling "Go ahead, sick em'". I will get up, and stay that way. I will go to college, I will pave the way. This is my life, and I will take control. My problem, my solution, and everyone may know. I did not give in, to the life I was presented, so now every December, I no longer hold resentment. Though, remember what I say, I will be someone, I promise, one day.
