Facing the harsh realities of the world |
I haven’t asked for what was done Never asked to be born Yet here I am, a heritage lost Something I always wanted the most Reality check Here I sit, helpless and weak In the hands of a stranger, my story not unique I was taken when no one was watching me Now suffering abuse, a horrid destiny Reality check As I grew older, we grew apart I always believed what we shared was a heart Now I’m here all alone with no one who cares Lost in a world of loneliness and despair Reality check I took the drugs once, thought I was cool Never realizing once I was merely a fool Now I’m addicted to what I can’t afford My life’s become dismal, it’s me that’s abhorred Reality check Drinking came easily to me because I felt it made me strong I lost my entire family’s respect for all I did wrong Still I drink more to help ease what’s felt inside It’s behind a can or a bottle that I now hide Reality check Life’s too short to waste, to sell yourself short To live in the past, to feel so ignored Take it to heart, and live life to the best For it’s only your faith that’s being put to the test Reality check |
