It's Time to Live
Location
The world seems to move at fast pace
things seem to grow and die like their in a race
Life is running like it’s being chased
Time is going to fast to waste
There’s becomes this point in life
where you just want time to stop and slow down
because you don’t know what comes next
where you become scared of the future
you're afraid that the one or things you love may not be
that its not the beautiful picture you planned in your head
friends become enemies like a drunk and his henesy
old memories become vague
To the point that you wished the past had stayed
Right where it was
or that you had the ability to go back like a bookmark in a page
It’s the world you were scared of laid right before your eyes
That’s where I find myself
Not wanting to turn the page
To this place that seems unfamiliar
A peculiar world
I am running in place
Holding on to everything I want to stay
Picking up pieces to a puzzle trying to erase my struggle
But it’s not going to happen
because I keep putting pieces where they don’t belong
like a child in a foster home
I am the girl with the big dreams
the girl who's tired of being a stereotypical teen
who's tired of sitting in classrooms
made in a rigged system
whose outline my life and curriculum in white chalk
and color me in with a black crayola
telling me to dream the impossible
but see forgot mommy always taught that with GOD anything is possible
so I break their standards
and deviate from their status quote
I dream of being the valedictorian in an Ivy league
being a teacher because those are the people that teach you to dream
I am not blind to the fact that it may be a struggle
but what is life if it isn’t a jigsaw puzzle
if it doesn’t have obstacles
and hurdles to jump
waterfalls to create with tears
and mountains that are suppose to be impossible to move
Maybe it will be a little harder for me
being born cerebral palsy doesn’t make life easy
being in and out of hospitals for the beginning of my life doesn’t make it breezy
I’m not weezy spitting the typical lines of rappers
cause i know life ain't easy
but I’m not a punk i don't let statistics make me weak and queasy
College is my next step
and I know all it take is hard work dedication and a little help
