A Life of Maybe

Being only a teenager

anything I do now

can forever affect my future.

I've grown up with the insecurities

of not knowing.

Of not knowing if we will have enough

for next months rent or tomorrows meal.

My parents live paycheck to paycheck

always having doubts of what tomorrow will bring.

I refuse to let everything they left behind

be in vain.

I aspire to obtain a college degree

to not live a life of maybe's.
