8 Mile (Based on Movie)

Just 8 miles to go until he finally
becomes free of his past, until, he can
move forward and become something, achieve
something, become someone
instead of labouring day after day
for minimum wage and a cranky boss
whom doesn't understand the difficulties
he is facing. Just 8 more miles
until he is free, until he can find
someone worthy of his love, until
he can provide a life for his daughter
stop relying on food stamps and milk tokens
provide for his family and be proud of himself
It's. all. he. ever. wanted.
