"Old Dear Life"


I scream for life to hear me,

Waiting for my dreams to become reality,

I just want to be heard,

Maybe then I can say my word,

 

Wanting the "Old Dear Life" everyone talks about,

It just seems if im living in a drought,

Seeing things that kids have nightmares of,

So I just look up high to the man above,

 

I am going to be the reason my brothers smile,

Hoping all these tears, and stress will be worth while,

With all this responsibility on my plate,

But patiently I wait,

 

Soon it will be my turn,

Soon for "Old Dear Life" I wont yearn,

When I get my chance I wont let it go,

I have to Remember #YOLO
