IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
Life changed in a blink of an eye for me
From paying for ice cream from the ice cream man
To paying some bills to keep me afoot
I went from having nap time in my class
To getting no sleep to finish all my work
I never thought about the future until it smacked me in the face
Now I’m hit with reality
Preparing for college and my future
Working to get some money in my pockets
Never did I think it was going to be hard
For the one subtle fact that I was living my childhood
Worry free
Until now because every choice I make will make or break my future
