Life is unfair because

CC BY-NC
Life is unfair as the story goes Like the silent battle that no one knows Sleepless nights fighting for a dream That might never come true as they seem Life is unfair by some people lenses Like the silent battles that cost all senses Sense that wanted to feel and see Hear and taste what it means to finally be free Life is unfair competitions won are applauded But silent battles are unrewarded Supper is what poor father can bring! forth Conflicted by gods words is this life's worth! Life is unfair some looks are admirable But silent battles demolish you to the point it's only desirable The pain when they say have pride But it means to wear something you haven't decide Life is unfair I don't know where it's going When Silent battles stops you from growing Growing financially and in mentality When no one understand your reality Life is unfair when you left to figure it alone Silent battles that you couldn't fight on your own And some battles are fought with an affectionate team And the pain in realizing and witnessing yours will only be a dream

Im a seventeen year old who had a passion for writing since the 4th grade I thought it was going to take me somewhere seeing that I was the only boy who couldn't play sports who was born with a soft soft voice and remains misunderstood I have spent my childhood trying to escape every comer of it yet still I have gotten nowhere I still have big dream like making children's dream come true and going to America
