wasting my talents
whenever my parents are screaming
i feel like im dreaming
seeing the light in my mind but there are no lights beaming
dont waste your talents the ball you can throw is seaming
playing since i was 6 but not at the best park
we played like fish but others played like sharks
our bats were worn but others had marks
dont waste your talent but i dont want to join
im not the boss then lets flip a coin
you took my communication from the planet
i want to complain but my mind is saying to can it
dont waste your talents but you havent seen what i can write
you think im wrong and going in a different direction but im right
i dont wanna go back to that program where everyone would just make fun of my hands
just because my batting gloves couldn't fit i had to use the sand
but now i want a new lifestyle to start my own band
but my secondary creators dont believe in a secondary job
but all my siblings do that but they dont act like snobs
i just want to do what i wish
so when my mom asks me what do i want to have i want to say let me make my own dish
if i waste talent then practice makes perect
for another thing that can make only me pleased but its worth it
because everything i do automatically has to please two other people
i thought it was my life turn into my decisions ill still keep the same thoughts and religion and the same pupils
my parents say they dont have anything else left but their youngest one
i want to do what i want but please my parents my talent can be wasted destroyed used but still life being forced on and pushed isnt no fun
sometimes you dont know what is your number one
sometimes you dont know what is gonna happen when youre done
pressure only on what should i do for a living and its a ton
the second son
