Reflections of My Perceptions
D E S P A I R
moonlit tears down my cheeks ran translucent
as in the pursuit of happiness began my movement
to the land of opporunity in the name of improvement
but my american dream has been much more an illusion
my vision is blurred, i'm in need of resolution
but i have no answers, my situation is confusing
for in spite of my service and long years of schooling
my true skills and abilities have remained unproven
Thus anger and frustration burn within me consuming
and now i am tired of fighting, because i am only human
as in the pursuit of happiness began my movement
to the land of opporunity in the name of improvement
but my american dream has been much more an illusion
my vision is blurred, i'm in need of resolution
but i have no answers, my situation is confusing
for in spite of my service and long years of schooling
my true skills and abilities have remained unproven
Thus anger and frustration burn within me consuming
and now i am tired of fighting, because i am only human
