Real

The structure of society bearing down on me,
The crucifixion to stay real,
Drop-in; drop out, drop dead,
What does life really mean? Where will I be?

 Entering the fast lane is no escape,
The nine to five does not facilitate,
My needs, my wants are to the extreme,
What does life really mean? Where will I be?

Gotta get out, gotta get real,
I am told; get with the program, get ready to feel,
The pain, the suffering, listen to the stories untold,
The hardships will make me strong so that I can belong,

The chains of despair are broken, I will be free,
Because life will mean, what I want it to be.
