One Goal
Becoming rich and living a lavish life is the dream
Through it all I remember my family and team
All of the years of struggle just to make money
Just to be marginalized and labeled as funny
Come in first and leave last everyday
Doesnt matter because I dont get paid anyway
On the grind looking for an answer
Drinking straight from the bottle thinking of my mothers cancer
Born a minority will I ever be home
Accepting what's said no matter the tone
Enhancement has always been the goal
Money the key and many will fold
Believing im special is slowly wearing off
Always dreaming of that eventual loft
Patience is a virtue and truly needed
Without hope is lost and dreams are defeated
Is there a purpose is there a reason?
Forced to believe in a higher power during specific seasons
Time is of the essence and life is a blessing
I pray one day I will no longer be stressing
Something wrong with this poem?
