Everyday Struggle

Death is easy and life is hard 

Hard to fathom such an illogical part 

Because mentally I’m not ready to live in this mentality 

I’m emotionally flawed like original sin 

Always cursed to live another hustling binge 

While constantly being shuttled like cattle 

Treated like sheep 

With every lie told I weep 

When will we awaken from this long sleep? 

Living every day like a hustle 

Another world is cut off 

In the everyday struggle
