BREAKING POINT

The world the economy 

Relationships dreams fantasies 

Everyday struggles others opinion 

Oops! Being an uneducated father 

I forgot to mention 

Living in a world made of rocks 

Undeveloped dreams 

Hindered by political rhetoric 

The American Dream stolen 

At the ballot box 

The closest thing to my heart is fear 

We walk and sleep together 

The darkness of the future 

Leaves me in despair 

A hot air balloon 

Filled with political promises 

Up! Up! And away my mind cannot conceive this 

Presidential candidates while lying seeks justice 

I am for the middle class 

Vote for me... I can fix this

We are deceived by what could be 

Empty promises from a corrupted society 

I'm holding on for dear life 

But getting weak in mental joints 

My heart is perplexed 

I'm at my breaking point.
