Suddenly

Location

6/28/14 - 7/23/14

 

Had the time

Wasted what I took advantage of

Should've kept my head out of the clouds

All our suffering

Came at an unexpected time

And so I fell

Yes I cried

But I have survived these trouble times

That I'm about to tell

 

It all started

Viente y cinco de Julio Dos mil trece

Just how hard this news hit me it showed me I was careless

To make a difference in the world that I live in

Complications were growing

No one knew what was going on

Rest in peace Obuelo

Diez de Diciembre Dos mil trece

Went to school the next day

Cried my eyes out till I fell asleep

 

Had I known

Being evicted out of a place I once called home

There burned a fire

Unbearable for anyone to concieve

At that time it felt no easier

Easier to try and be fine

Be okay

With my life being re - arranged

Many times I've asked why had this have happened

During the start of my freshman year

 

Wasn't able to breathe

Only heart weakening toxins

God really tested me

Giving me battles that I'd never thought to face

Now as I look after all the changes

I ask you why so

Suddenly

 

Feeling embarassed at times

Difficult times call for difficult measures

Seeing my parents suffer

Getting frustrated at each other

Ahhhh yet couldn't do a thing but cry

It seemed so long since things got better

All they could say was just be strong but how strong could I be without breaking down
