He wakes up everyday,
Gets out of bed at 6:00 AM,
Takes a shower, gets dressed, goes to work everyday,
Puts up with everyone putting him down and looking at it in the end,
He is just trying to survive in this world we live in
Forcing himself to keep at it,
Trying to become somebody,
But expenses keep on growing and he fights to keep from drowning,
Fighting an uphill battle to try to maintain his family,
Exhausted because everything is dying inside him
He is just a simple guy
Who everyone recognize
Keeps struggling, and struggling to bring his dreams alive,
Tormented by everything but looking cool and calm outside,
Suffering deeply and neglecting it for anyone to recognize
The day coming to an end,
He gets home at 6:00 PM,
Hugs his child, kiss his wife, living yesterday again,
Everyday living masquerading his anguish and pain,
His love for his family and to give them a better life is what he is trying to attain
Next day comes fast,
He gets promoted at last,
From supervisor to manager, putting his sadness in the past,
Finally being able to everything he owes pay back,
Inside finally smiling because he made it to the other side of the tracks. |
