I'm Only Here Now.


These words that I avow:

I'm only here now, and only now.

But, soon I'll be gone. 

I wasn't born to be anything, I feel it in my bone.

When I see you there I think I'm wrong

Don't let this be, my swan song.

Because I love this feeling of amiss

This is my feeling of bliss.

My mom raise me brother and I as a single mother who struggled to pay bills or provide for her two kids. But, I don't let that affect my life. Sure it didn't have the happiest beginning but that doesn't mean that my story won't have a happy ending.
