Rocky Road

For each step I make trying to progress
something negative pulls me back
making sure i don't succeed in my life mission whatever it may be
but at the moment these demons are winning

as the root of all evil gots a death grip around me
its hard maintaining a family and planning my next step in life
when my pockets are flat
but I manage to breath barely hanging in there

but this fog of stress surrounding me is weighing me down
holding myself together from going crazy
reminding myself how many are depending on me but its to much for me
tears come to my eyes when I realize this

but im not a quitter to walk away
what kind of man would I be what message would I send
letting people know when the odds are against me
im ready to be gone without a care

I would rather die knowing I tried my hardest
than be alive knowing I could have done more
but I chose to be selfish can not imagine myself doing that
so I sit burning a square and wait my destination

whatever it maybe success or failure
I am man enough to accept it time is my only enemy in this hectic life
