"One Day"


I wish one day I can say I made it….

I just want to strive and say i made it....

Success is calling and I Just wanna answer

But I don’t know the answer..what do I do.

 

What do I say... should I just believe everything will be okay.

All this fear and pain grinding through me, like, can it go away

What if I fail, will I be a disappointment...I can’t just go back in time and change the past

They say everything happens for a reason I just wanna know the reason why.

 

They say” it’s wrong if a man cries”..... but ,is it really???

I keep contemplating where to go from this…...

Should I take my grief and sorrow to a deep abyss....

Or, should I grind it out till i succeed, until i find out what’s right from me.

 

In reality who knows, life’s a game, except you only have one life.

And everything has it’s price, you just gotta live life a day at a time.

And wish everything goes alright and you don’t have to pay that price.  

So that one day I can finally say I made it.
