Some people...


Some people just get it

They walk the world with ease

Leaving others behind

To fight against the breeze

 

Some people will never get it

Never putting forth the effort

Refusing to be more than they are

And wishing not to feel they were cut short

 

Some people barely make it

Clawing for the top

Hoping for a future

That they can't acheive if they stop

 

And some people won't get it

A life of trying and failing

Looking to be more

But forever staying

Impossible to be what they work for

Despite their struggling

Becoming society's floor
