Y.O.L.O <br /> (you only live once)


Can you imagine my struggle?
The pain and horror, losing a father
Or a father figure, promising myself that I wont pull the trigger
Looking my little brother in face, when I’m in a daze
Trying not to be fazed, it seems like I’m living in a maze
Like a little mouse, but I'm only stuck in this little house
Maintain the game, and I don’t feel ashamed
I take the gun, wanting to blow all the bad scenes away
I try to hide my trouble, so I run from the huddle
I hate to see my mama face, when she struggles
But I love to see her smile, because it’s so wow
Or should I say amazing, she still calls me her little baby
People try to change me, only it feels like a spell
People wanting me to yell, wanting me to say farewell
While they doubt me, and try to trap me
But it’s just me against the world.

Tupac's, rap "Me Against the World," inspired me to right this piece.
