Why I'm Here
9 to 5 living plus school afterwards
Life feeling in a rut
Keeping eyes on the prize
When they aren’t forcing themselves shut
Outlets keep him sane in an insane world
Finding peace through words and plan
He never expected this to be life
But his dreams will make him a better man
I can’t say whether he finally found his ideal
Life has a way of pushing us to only an end
But time will tell if he made dream reality
He’s still naïve to hope life will bend
