STRIVE
By Demetra Nelson

I’m striving to live a better life

I fantasize it every time I close my eyes

I can see it inside my dreams at night

I believe that everything’s gonna be alright

I strive, I strive, and I’m striving

Standing in front of the mirror

Staring into my reflection

All that I see is depression in my eyes

Feeling like nobody loves me

Praying and angel will touch me

Take away the pain

It’s a struggle living with no money

Feel ashamed cause I never had nothing in this life

I’m striving to live a better life

I fantasize it every time I close my eyes

I can see it inside my dreams at night

I believe that everything’s gonna be alright

I strive, I strive, and I’m striving
