Woke up 17 years ago
It was good day
Opened my eyes and i was on way.
Not an ordinary poem about life,
But an honest recollection of strife.
Before, nothing had ever been hectic,
Then I ventured across the Atlantic
A millions miles away
All i wanted to do was stay.
Alienation with a bunch of misrepresentation
I came along way and never lost dedication.
The language was new,
But i knew that as i grew success would shine through.
Hardships come and go,
But as i grow they become mellow.
The anger’s subsided
And my determination becomes guided.
Not easy to make choices
So i think twice and listen to all the voices.
I got a few friends that advise me to take my time,
Step by step. Rhythm by rhythm
The pressure builds up
So im careful not to get stuck.
Experiences take a tole
Self searching i begin to find my role.
Impossible to predict the future
I analyze my past to make it clearer.
Like a lightening strike before my eyes
Seventeen years past, so i attempt to compromise.
Every second counts
But as they go faster and faster
I hold them tighter and unleash my anger.
Fighting an unstoppable force
I realize i need to live my life with no remorse.
Enjoying every change and charm
I embrace life, long and strong.
