Day 28: Rived

Courtesy: Marcus Moller (modified)

Half the chance

That's all I have in this circumstance

I am torn to splinters by the unfortunate drama

But all I do is nod to it like the agama

Cornered by trauma

Like a nail I get hammered

I heard of bitter-sweet experiences

I got a ton of the bitter

But the sweet is lost to my fantasies

I came from the gutter

I ought to be used to stuff like this I garner

I can't see nothing but trouble

I can't break free cause my struggle

Got me trapped in a glass bubble

I arise only to get stumped like a stubble

With every inch of progress I risk popping

Could somebody please tell me something

How do I strive

When I am consistently deprived?

Bruh, all this commotion got my faculty totally rived.
