The ugly truth:
I wanted the world handed to me
"It's not fair!"
Though the world around me
Is suffering through pain
I'm too blind to see
And if anyone else
Even dared to complain, to compare
In my mind I capture
A time when I was less mature.
At an age
Where I could barely talk on stage.
With time,
I learned to rhyme.
When I was standing on my living room couch
Tears blocking the sight of my grandparents
Worries etched into their wrinkles and dark eyes
When the TV played its usual 7:30 cartoon
Once I was a wee young sap
so innocent and gullible.
I followed others blindly,
orbit around them like they were the sun.
They gave me life and kept me warm
