Please don’t follow in my footsteps

The path is too hard you’ll find

The struggle isn’t worth it

There is a better way by far

I didn’t head the warnings

I believed I knew it all

Please don’t follow in my footsteps

I always trip and fall

Everyday is a struggle

Worry clouds my mind

Walking my path means no security

Always a dollar short and a day behind

Don’t ever be like me please I beg

It’s clear to see I am not okay

Please don’t follow in my footsteps

Please go get a real degree

Everything I’ve ever had is always taken from me

Feelings of nothingness and disappointment are always here

It’s hard to live this life the path is never clear

I taken so many wrong turns now I don’t know what to do

So please listen to my words they’re all truth

Friends and lovers are all good and great until enough is enough then they leave it’s hard to accept yet it’s reality for me.

I feel like a failure everyday please don’t follow in my footsteps there is a better way.
