I am Sam...

Woke up in a life

Like it was pre-imagined

By those before us

Of myths & legends

But now I think,

I wanna change it up, the whole damn thing

(Im feelin')

Totally depleted

& outta time

Kinda Cheated into repeating

cycles of life

Can’t quit, I hate defeat

Hear the countdown [clock ticking]

Alarm is loud

Factory reset mode

Hit Control

Alt Delete!

All these quotes & mysteries

Wise anecdotes, from history

Has me wonder about Confucius

Do you think he

Had solutions Or

Would he just be more confusing than before

Yea I'm so bad at going too deep

Looking for meaning in everything Im reading

& then, cant sleep!

No more trying to find out how

I just wanna [impact] live life in the now

So my teen's just asked

Whats the purpose of life?

Ah Well.. to

Work fast & work hard to work out the work task

Live in the moment,

try & choose to own your shit

Be grateful for what you've got

Be present & aware

& make time to not

Use your time wisely, cos life is short

Give it your best shot, be a good sport

Simple advice as Granny would say

Can't imagine telling my teens this stuff today

[Mom] "Its bout the journey, not the destination"

[Teen]] "oh my god Mom, thats sooo millennial generation"

Well ok, back to the point anyway

All these sayings from history

Merged with new words

From a Gen Z dictionary

All we had was shit like yolo

Or fomo! Haha

They got shit like glow up, slay

Yeet or N P C?

Be a main character or skib a dee.

Ick

Brat

Delulu & Rizz

Ive got no idea how to use any words like this!!

Im just keep living in my age of empires

Even if it leaves me feelin uninspired

So tired!

Work, home, work more then bed.

Stress out, work out, lash out till youre dead.

Short life ya think? HA, feels long as fuck when youre in it

Crazy tho, looking back, the days have gone so quick

You blink & now youre all old & gotta try

Not to fall over & cark it (well, die)

So it seems the best thing is to go - live your life!

Cos one day you might wake up & say what the fuck!?!

How'd I get here in this sucky rut

Stop the fake life, no regrets right!?

Every breath is an opportunity to gain insight

You could change your whole world

Yea! Go show that teen gen z

What a person can do, who you can be

Theyre leaving home soon, so,

You did good mama, you raised good kids

Now, its your turn, Do you, go

I could choose whatever!

Cos it wouldnt matter

I could explore my way

Round wherever

No "I can'ts" or "I will, one day"

& no "I gotta do this first" or "I gotta help a friend today"

Im gonna book a fucking well deserved holiday

Ive been waiting for the day to come

Where Im just me, not partner, not helpful friend, not Mum

Just Raw hard core

Be fully in my brand

Its all about me YEA

Cos I am Sam
