Time

Robert Pippen 1981 (Jackson Mississippi)



Struggling through yet another day,
Starting to wonder if it's always going to be this way,
Or if anything will ever be okay,

These walls are cold and dark,
Life for me has never been a walk in the park,
This time has not finally made it's mark,

More years to pass before I'm free,
Time to become who I've always wanted to be,
Find the one who will stand with me.
I  time it's going to come just wait and see,
