The Struggle


We live in a world where mute people talk In a world where the disable walk In a world where we have ears but do not listen And in a world where shadows make our skin glisten But more importantly we live in a world where it is impossible To complete the possible without communication This world is a door and it cannot be opened without the key They key which we hold and can achieve whatever we are told Communication is the key that we all have in our pockets It is difficult to see at first but with a second glance you know it’s in your right eye socket I’ve been on this same journey for an astounding three years And like everything, it has to come to an end Went from cleaning rivers, dumping truck wheels to creating a video called Vent Became a master at juggling life and all its obstacles My parents were an amazing ice cream and my father left my mother alone like a popsicle But it’s all good I was there for my mother, I comforted her and tried to hold my tears Jesus, it’s incredible how much your life can all change in one year The end is near even though my dreams are now being started Summary of my life that has left my soul bombarded.
