So-called Life.

Trapped inside
all alone with
deep cries
formed by a mother
that doesn't trust
a mother that
yells & fuss
a father that smokes & cuss
a family that drives me nuts
a lil brother who's suppose 2 be my friend
we were at one time
but how quickly things end.
Trapped in this cage
we call life
living each day
in utter strive.
Waiting on the day
when i can move out
& do things my way
Forced to obey their rules
forced to be treated so cruel
These four walls are all i have
& this so called life
is leading me 2 a dead end path
Having 2 get permission 2 sleep
treated like a criminal w/ shackles on my feet
but this so called life won't last long for me
here lies the door 2 success
& i hold the key
My dreams WILL be accomplished
even if it takes forever & eternity.
