the strong survive


As the days go by I could see the pain in your eyes you want to look strong but the look on your face proves you wrong providing food on the table you want to believe this whole life is just a fable you got it wrong it is the power in your eyes that i look for inspiration in your drive that makes me believe that i can fight yeah this world is full of pain and it only gets harder the weak will fall and the ones that focus will get they're money on the ball so when i see you struggling to make ends meat I will go beyond and above in school so i wont stand on my feet well my kids look at me with defeat to be the better person i will succeed. your struggle wont be for nothing because i am the strong i will not be apart of that weak that fall
