Fast go the days
We oft get caught up in the race
So much that we lose touch of why we're here in the first place

We get busy trying to survive yet forget to live
Give our lives to the struggle and then wish we lived a little longer when it's time to leave

Live the life you love, I know this to be true
But I'm about to get caught up in the mess too

The future gets scarier the closer it gets
Made love with tomorrow and worry is what it beget
Yesterday introduced me to today, we've not been friends since we met
Yet they say live your life the way it comes, no regrets

Wish someone prepared me for the storm I see coming ahead
They say life's a bi^tch, so why is it so hard getting a-head?

The sky is your springboard, I remember they told me so
Now I've made it to the sky and it's telling me "this is as high as you go"

If life's a poem then I'm stuck in the first stanza
Can someone flip the lyrics please?
Because I'm not taking no for an answer
There has to be more to life than this

You can try but you can't take my will to fight
It's been years of downs but I take a stand tonight
Bright light in sight despite the slight fright
Just got to fight tight
To make the flight to the right height

I'm on a journey, chasing the dreams I left behind
But this time, I won't stop till the world is mine.

Savant!!!







Nice poem. More like a rap to me but it maintain a beautiful rhythm. Great work!

Thanks a lot man. I think it actually sounds more like rap than a poem
