Life I'm living


Can't explain a life like mine, 60 minutes or 24 hours isn't enough time ! I got 4 months to do the impossible and finally shine ! My mind is like a clock running to find an answer    But we running out of time, I got a semester left in school and my grades seem to be slipping, I don't know why I can't focus maybe it because of this stressed life I'm living. Parents expect so much and it's like I'm trying to barely pass this next test and that still not enough.  Dad gone and moms the only one left  but we can't seem to see eye to eye even though I love her to death.  I look right and it look left I feel so lost;  head spinning I just need to take a breath. I got 4 months to go to college or be homeless, times going fast and I'm feeling hopeless. I see the eyes of my teachers and it looks like they just don't care maybe that's just how it seems, but I know they see starvation in my eyes because unlike them I'm hungry to really go after my dreams.  I have no clue how I'm going to reach them but I have a short amout of time to reach the ceiling but hey that's just the stressed life I'm living !
