The Maze
Who am I? I don’t even know so it matters not,
But I guess that isn’t true because the paged would have already ended.
I guess I’m the boy with a tough journey ahead.
Someone that has already had one thing stuck in his head.
The boy no one will ever understand
Because no one knows what I’ve done.
Sure they might know what I want to become,
But they don’t know what it’s like to be my parent’s son.
Always being doubted and talked down to.
Being told I would never make it or that I’m not passionate enough.
My father might say that I can do it, but they’re all lies.
I know because your eyes tell me what you really want to say.
But then again I have nothing to say to a man
That’s never been there for me or that’s never witnessed any of my achievements.
So you would be the last to know what I’m capable of.
All you know is my name, age, and a few of my interests.
I bet you don’t know that Drake is my favorite artist
Because I feel like I can relate to his music.
Forever, the Calm, the Ride are just a few songs,
But the list goes on and on
You wouldn’t know that though.
After all I guess I’m just a stupid, simple boy
That only thinks about basketball and is throwing his life away.
But there’s so much more tome that you wouldn’t understand.
My mind is a labyrinth that I can’t even solve.
So how can anyone else?
But this is just a small part of me you’ve felt.
You’ll figure out the rest as I do as well.
