Come With Me (Part 2)
Let me take you with me..One more time,
I'm asking you to come with me- Leave your reality behind.
Get lost in rhymes- Elevate your mind,
Beautifully thought provoking- Escape your time.
Close your eyes, imagine- Opening the closet door,
3 shirts, 3 pants and 3 shorts- And half of it isn't yours.
The reality strikes, you feel poor- But wait...There's more.
You open your dresser drawers- 4 pairs of boxers and 3 pairs of socks,
3 white teeshirts that are too small- And 2 dingy tank tops.
People say you should thank God- To be fortunate to have those,
But those people are the more fortunate- They view your life with eyes half close.
The glass isn't half full- Optimism is a rare commodoity.
A troubled kid with a lost soul- Wait there's more...Continue to follow me.
You walk through life hollowly- The little things matter more,
You don't pray to have a new wardrobe, thought it's needed- You pray there could be milk in the refrigerator door.
You wish there could be cereal- And you hope to keep the heat on,
No more gas stove for heat- A new pair of shoes to keep your feet warm.
A blanket just to keep warm- Maybe some relief for your parents,
They do their best everyday- But the results arent so apparent.
The burdens you carry- Would be overwhelming for most youths,
In reality it'd crush most adults- But everyday you continue to do.
At night you still pray- Though you still question your own belief,
You're thankful to be seeing another night- But you're anxious to have relief.
Life has you beat- And the clouds overshadow the sun you see,
Through a pen onto a page my thoughts leak- So I'm asking you,
Come with me.
