Waking Up Scared
Rooster crows
Eyes open
Awake in another states
All ready for work
Wait, fly's open
Zip it up and leave
Walking down the street
My feet
Naked, no shoes
Talking to myself
And humming Blues
All while I receive
Looks dirtier then my clothes themselves
Making me feel like an old toy
Forgot, on a shelf
My job in itself
Horrid
Dreaming of a world with wealth
Sparring
With myself
Bare knuckles, no gloves
No love
Just bllod
Sweat and tears
The canvas of my life
So dreary
Working 16 hour shifts
Joints so weary
When will htese blind owners see it clearly
And witness
People can't live like this
Waking up fearing...
Arriving to work on time
But I'm stiil late
Working hard
All for a losy plate
Of cold food none the less
The stress
Builds up in my chest
I rest...
In my head that is
Can't take a break in this business
But my heart is bright
You can't dim this
Waiting for the time
I'll be a winner
No longer winless.
