The summer rang in with burning flame
It pierced into my skin to make something out of my name
It’s that time of year where everyone’s moving forward
But I’m still at the starting line waiting to hear the gun fire
My bed’s my solitude
31 days spent in my room
And the sun only reminds me of my lack of motivation
And unaccomplished goals I set out before the calendar had turned
Still sitting with fingers aching
I waited for an answer to question I was too afraid to ask myself
Maybe help me off my feet. It’s time to hit the pavement
But any sense of self-made motivation shattered at impact
Stop using apathy as an excuse for unemployment rates
My clouded mind does not justify my financial state
"What will they think of me once their judgement’s cast?
Am I even ready to meet my dying aspirations?
I don’t know if I’m strong enough to do this anymore
But I can’t just wait for this to happen. Progress isn’t knocking at my door.”
Day 2,
I’ve been sitting in my room all alone
These four blank walls feel more like a prison cell
With my ambition locked inside
Day 5:
I’ve been feeling less alive with each passing hour
I just sit and think of what better time could be taking advantage
By the end of the month,
I just wanna sleep my life away
All I can do is wait for fall to bring me back to life
Nothing brings me down more than growing up, but it's this life I choose
Don’t wait for the world, cause the world won’t wait for you
