JOURNEY OF 4 TO 7
It took four years to get into the system
I tried so hard but I could never understand
them
For a while, I was our of the system
I tried all I could but I could never fit in
They say 'do not judge a
book by its cover'
That's one of the most underrated
statements ever
To get to where I want to be, they say I have
to suffer
Then I asked ' to what length' ?
Their reply ' till you feel you've achieved your
aim'
Then, your life won't be the same
Burning the midnight candle
Wanting to make Daddy proud
I hear them say, ' you took after him'
But did I really, though
If be was ever proud of me, he never let it
show
His face, void of any expression
I could never know
I worked so hard for an acknowledgement
The harder I try, I never even got a
compliment
