Is that the alarm? shit.. gotta wake up, I can't miss the bus, Gotta put on the same face, Cant fail, can't be a disgrace. I gotta get into a good college, why? I don't know. They tell me is the way to go. I'm at school, these halls are sorrounded by walls that I can't knock down, its bringing me down, i mean up. this place will raise me up. Keep my grades at the top, and maybe i'll have luck. Gotta get to a good college, it'll help me get a good job. what about after that? i don't know.

Another day, same thing, same pain, wait I meant plan. Gotta get up, get dressed, get ready for my 9-5 in hell. well. work, but hey there isnt much of a difference. Both are places of hatred and indifference. I'm smiling, hello, hi there. honestly? i'd rather be anywhere but here. 12 years of free school, 4 years of paid, and i still havent paid it off. and all that for what? i could still get laid off at any time, i'm just another worker in line, but hey I got time. I'll keep on working as hard as I can, Gotta provide for my family, so I gotta please the man.

Finally retirement, I'm finally free! 60 plus years of work and school and i can finally be me! My bones are aching, and my soul's been destroyed. What happened to that innocent little boy? I was corrupted by time, in this cruel little world. Years in the making but its still the same cycle. We live a life of hard ass work, wait. There is a knock on my door.

Death is a powerful thing, everyone will feel its painful sting. But should we fear it? Because when we die we wont feel shit. We wont have bills, we wont have to worry. Embrace the end when your time comes. Because Life is a battle that can't be won.
