Survive and Succeed


I did all of this work with extra help

 

I am not scared to fail

 

How could life be so torture?

 

It’s like the lord wants us to push ourselves

 

Then there comes College

 

Money is everything

 

Got my parents who depend on me

 

I just cannot give up at all

 

Even though I always feel like giving up

 

No one said It would be easy

 

You just see how much pain I received

 

I said “ The pain makes me wanna die”

 

But I don’t think that is necessary

 

We all suffer a lot

 

By way of handling life,

 

It is to find a way to handle this pain

 

Water’s are falling everyday from these eyes

 

Men are not suppose to cry

 

But that’s how we care about  being successful

 

To succeed is to survive in many obstacles
