Sadness Through my Eyes

I look up to the skies

And I’m forced to realize

That all I’ve been told are lies

,Oh how time flies

 

Not all does go to heaven

Is there really a hell???

All my political figures are corrupt

I found this abrupt

 

Other teens are fixated on getting faded

While my biggest worry is how I’m getting graded

I proof read till my eyes bleed

My only hopes lead to grades above B’s

That’ll be the bee’s knees

 

I was taught that if i stayed on the path of education my dreams will be fulfilled

My timing is still

My belly isn't filled  

My student loans are yet to bill

Isn’t it sad that I’m not motivated by Netflix and chill?

 

Yes I love my education, yes I truly do

People said that the idea was uncool

,but I knew that they were the real fools

So while there slaving away like tools

I’ll be making all the rules

 

Now i just have to make my dreams into realities.

I look up to the skies

And the harshness demands me to realize

That all I’ve been told are lies

,Oh how time flies

 

Not all does go to heaven

Is there really a hell???

All my political figures are corrupt

I found this abrupt

 

Other teens are fixated on getting faded

While my biggest worry is how I’m getting graded

I proof read till my eyes bleed

My only hopes lead to grades above B’s

That’ll be the bee’s knees

 

I was taught that if i stayed on the path of education my dreams will be fulfilled

My timing is still

My belly isn't filled  

My student loans are yet to bill

Isn’t it sad that I’m not motivated by Netflix and chill?

 

Yes I love my education, yes I truly do

People said that the idea was uncool

,but I knew that they were the real fools

So while there slaving away like tools

I’ll be making all the rules

 

Now I just have to make my dreams into realities.
