A day in this life Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by NESTA, Dominica Aug 13, 2005
Poverty   Poetry

  

Woke up this morning
Raindrops striking my face
Frustrated start to another day
Gotta get out this place, move far away
Need a hustle, need a bustle
Make a million, flex my muscles

A day in my life
Full of sorrow, full of strife
Gotta get up from this sleep
Need more joy in this world
Though my pain is deep
My courage is unique.

Pass me a bottle
Drown my sorrows
Can't even worry about tomorrow
But gotta feed my kid
Don’t give a f**k about mine
But what about his needs
He doh understand what going down
He needs to see my smile, not that constant frown
Daddy’s gonna be here, daddy’s coming through
He needs convincing, damn even me too.

A day in my life
Full of sorrow, full of strife
Gotta get up from this sleep
Need more joy in this world
Though my pain is deep
My courage is unique.

I speak both French and English, You should hear my French accent, and it’s pretty good!

I'm a cool person that’s down to earth; as long as you can hold a good conversation, and then I’ll have no problems with you, even if we disagree on everything, because I never ever enjoyed a conversation with someone who agreed with everything I say.

I am a very serious, strong willed person so when you coming at me come well but I can still appreciate a good joke.

I love to engage in positive activities and spend a lot of my time in youth groups, organizations and volunteering for the good causes.
