Stronger than the Struggle

I dreamed so long of becoming a star

I thought for so long that I would go far

Now I sit here alone on a brown leather couch

Living in the hood and about to be kicked out

No money in the bank

In need of a job

Projects postponed

Low on smiles and love

Is it a seasonal thing

If so how long does it last

Why am I moving so slow

When I was going so fast?

I look at others

Watch how they fly

Then ask myself

When will I touch the sky

I thought I was great

I thought I was strongMaybe I'm too cockyMaybe I'm wrong

Dazed and confused

Ask what life's aboutMy family's togetherAnd I feel left out

At the bottom of the pit

And I'm tryin to climbJust tryin to make itAnd not fall behind

I write about nightmaresBut this one has last too longTime to be on topBe where I belong
