Three Decades

By Anthony Anthem

By Anthony AnthemPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I write these words with experience

Expressing the side that Is serious

The story of my life that's what the series is

30 plus seasons on my printed list

Damn we getting old with all the years behind us

Childhood pictures the memories remind us

Being young and dumb and living life with blinders

Shit is going fast before we know it's times up

So many people sharing baby pictures

Facebook, Instagram, and then there's also Twitter

People loving life people acting bitter

If we saw behind scenes who is a real winner

Who am I to lie sometimes I've needed help

Been struggling for decades to love myself

It's a bitch when your dealing with your mental health

Self worth is bigger than financial health

Im not preaching about what is happiness

But know a hundred grand wouldn't hurt a bit

Like I would be gone I would take a trip

But I'll be damned if I'm paying for that lotto slip.
