I'm Strugglin


I'm strugglin, In every possible medium Finances gettin dry, why can't I just Get what I'm needin from This Life. Success, a blessing, a couple wishes, no second guessing On whether I can sustain, but the pleasure of maintaining. Where can I draw the line when this struggle keeps me behind Plus in debt I'm up to my eyes, and to opportunity blind. So blind I don't see when good is in my midst A huge skeptic, so I miss Out on chances for expansion a Mis- Fortune, mistake, a mishap I'm missin the days When worry never flourished Now in mid-summer my worries flurry Then begin to snow and rain and drop on me like hail And I feel like when snow falls it turns blizzard Within a matter of moments Man I'm Strugglin And not too many gonna care, even though I was always there They turn they're backs or sit and stare It's also rare that they came to see me Unless their problems overbear But what about mine, because my family need me They deserve to live life freely Feed me the bull the excuses and lies Don't tell me u can help, thinking I'll be satisfied With knowing at least you tried? Naw, You could've, but the minimal Never got applied by you. So I look to no one, Walking through life with a chip on my shoulder And with each step and each day I'm just growin stronger Plus naturally a loner, reclusive, yet getting bolder With mental strength that makes me an unmovable boulder Yo I'm Strugglin Which adds stress It's getting the best of me Probably might be the death of me I need to be thinking health and wealth But struggles weighing Heavily I'm no worse off than the victims who live with leprosy In this diction I simply wish just to speak through my pencil And I'm even strugglin with This. Struggle by definition is to make forceful or violent efforts to get free of restraint or constriction Picture an anaconda squeezin the very life out ya body You unknowingly have the power to overpower this powerful situation My inspiration and motivation stems from determination to terminate And exterminate, sending struggle its obliteration One day I'll overcome it, but today I'll keep on strugglin Until then, what Life gives me I'll keep loving that The fact will always stand that when the day comes and there's none of it I'll accept that until I'm free, I'll be Strugglin
