Future Fear

Future Fear

What exactly is out there?

We don’t know for sure

But I can tell you this,  

At 7, I thought it was just rainbows and smiles

and now at 15, it’s all work and lifestyles

They can say, take this, I’ll help you feel good

But based on what I know? I say, no, I don’t need that to be in the mood

The world is cruel out there

Constantly shaming, harassing and insulting

Baby, you must fight hard like a soldier in order to survive this lifelong war

So keep your chin up and keep fighting, sad to say that this is just the beginning   

Once you’re out of the booster seat, be careful on who you let to drive the car

You don’t know what is going through the driver's mind

They say, why do you study?

It’s a waste of time.

Okay cool.

Remind me to tell you that as you serve me, and I’m wearing my ivory cashmere coat

You tell me you’re sorry for all the insults you let me know

For doubting me..

But who's laughing now?  

When all I want is to be left alone

I’m not sure what you’ll tell your kids, when they're grown and old

But here is something I’ll make sure they’re told

Honey, don’t do what they did, it was a mistake,

All you get in return is that feeling you get when your heart breaks

So start now, and prove them wrong

Because in the end, you were the one played all along
