One day at a time.
One day you'll be fine.
You'll get scoliosis if you don't straighten your spine.
Perms are to make your hair fine.
Babies can't communicate of course they'll whine.
You'll fall if you don't balance your bike.
Sometimes your parents will fuss and fight.
Everybody doesn't get to live a long life.
You may watch many of your friends die.
No matter how many times they say they love you, they'll still lie.
It doesn't make you weak if you cry.
Sometimes you gotta take the minimum wage job to get by.
Unless you're on a plane, you'll never get to fly.
Life gets hard after high school.
Life is deep as the ocean , school was just a pool.
Numerous people will try to make you out to be a fool.
Many people will try to keep you in a box like a tool.
As you grow, you'll go against your own rules.
You'll often change your passions.
Don't listen to people words, watch their actions.
They'll provoke you to get the worst reaction.
Don't give vultures the satisfaction.
You'll come across betrayal the most.
Sometimes it'll force you to go ghost.
Sometimes it'll seat you like a host.
Sometimes it'll make your trust, heart and mind roast.
They don't love you, you're just a reason to boast.
Your heart will be broken.
I'm sorry, I wish I was jokin'.
The pleasure will end with the strokin'.
The tears will leave your shirt soakin'.
Your family will become distant.
Holidays will become nonexistent.
Only time they'll call is if they need fixin'.
Your looks won't matter if your heart is missin'.
A dead soul will make you a useless vixen.
Your mistakes will replay in your mind like a video.
A blockbuster for your traumas.
You're an adult now, if life gets hard you can't run home to mama.
Nor your pops.
No matter how many tears drops.
You may find comfort in the plant that makes your eyes red like the sign that says stop.
Or in those buildings filled with slots.
Or In Any habit that you should not.
You'll get impatient with your dreams.
Impatient with the thought of what your life should mean.
Life will continue on without you.
Be cautious but Never ever doubt you.
We learn so much , and we're still learning.
Even if them old wounds are still burning.
The pages in our books are still turning.
Lesson after lesson.
Class is always in session.
God continue to carry me.
Here's to lesson 23.
