The Views Of A Kid With Stubborn Parents


He lives in a world full of guilt

Living with motivation that one day he will

with the dreams of his parents he's being forced to fulfill

and not stress out when paying the bill

to pay for food that will

one day have his childrens belly filled

But have his parents ever seen 

what their sons passions and talents are

and how far 

he will be able to get with them.

No, because most parents are hypocrites

they don't remember that they once walked in our shoes.

and judged as a fool

because they failed a test that was just a tool

to get out of high school.

When in school they emphasize the fact

of educating you but they slack

the ways to get threw life.

Sleepless Nights 

trying to get a 95.

Just to see that report card 

a bit more bright. 

and be able to achieve 

his parents dream.
