These Days

Sleep and self care, what's that?

Is it some kind of dog or cat?

You say they're essential parts to staying in good health, you say

I've heard of them, I used to care about my ways

But no longer am I that concerned of salads, body lotions, perfume, or looks even

I just want to get home after work, in the evening

I feel alone, like no one understands me

Now that I think about it, no one around really knows what it's like to be me

Trying to balance work, school, social and more

I just want to get out of this nightmare and soar

So far above are my dreams

Impossible to reach they seem

But no matter what, I will succeed

I will plant my American seed

I will graduate, tall and with pride

With my mother, brother and the rest of my family by my side

I have no idea what the future holds for a girl such as I

I just know that I am really, aiming for the sky
