I Never Knew

Packed with so many obstacles and tribulations

Stress and hard decision blocking the road ahead

Then the probability of me going to jail hanging over my head

A jail cell for every seat in my school, foretelling my life for me

Death before I can make something of myself

Cant leave the place I grew up alive, so what now?

Should I burry myself in a hole and give up on life?

Or should I try ten times harder, even though my past foretells my future?

I never knew trying to stand out was impossible

I never knew this world did not want me to grow
