Struggle for the Future


 

So much pressure for the future

but i wont give up now.

 

The world is falling into its center

collapsing overhead

i stand up like Atlas

because i will not bow.

 

The flashing green light on the other side of the bay grows brighter every day

"Im 16 and i got nothing to loose" they all say

except the rest of your life will decay that same way.

 

Everyone expects you to go to college

like a leaf on the breeze

but its actually a tornado 

and i wont yeild 

I have God on my side

and he'll let me float down with ease
