I Cant Complain

I have a full body of working limbs

A mind, that thoughts flow out and in

I have a heart that has not yet fell in love, but will

A spirit that is never still

 

I cannot complain

 

I have an accumulating debt associated with my education

Experienced racial discrepancies in this great nation

I have felt the dread of almost losing a friend - to death

I feel the longing of wanting to know a deceased parent I cant remember but will never forget

 

But I can't compain

 

I have a full body of working limbs

A mind, that thoughts flow out and in

I have a heart that has not yet fell in love, but will

A spirit that is never still

 
 
I cannot complain

 

I have felt the highest and lowest I ever have in my life, here in college

Experienced condescending professors, with theit "wealth" of knowledge

I have lost friendships, having to work to stay in school

Been talked about and deemed uncool

 

But I cant complain

 

I have a full body of working limbs

A mind, that thoughts flow out and in

I have a heart that has not yet fell in love, but will

A spirit that is never still

 
I cannot complain
 
 
I have never questioned if I will have success in my life
 
I refuse to let money be the cause of my strife
 
I know what I have done and am capable of 
 
So I truly cannot complain...
 
My path to success will be carved by all the above
