Life
This morning I woke up
 Not knowing who I’d be
 Looking in the mirror realizing,
 What is my identity?
 
 I’m a kid with dreams
 That flow forever more
 With my imagination soaring
 Like it’s never been before
 
 I’m a kid with goals and hopes
 Hoping to see them all come true
 Hoping to see my life as perfect
 As one and one is two
 
 But a kid like me
 Also has its doubts
 As the load of all my worries
 Piles up by pounds
 
 When I know my heart is pounding,
 And when the sky starts pouring rain
 It’s a whole new different story
 Very hard for someone to explain
 
 My hopes and dreams all fade away
 And my blue sky is now black
 As I sit there by my window
 Watching as my fears begin to stack
 
 And I try to keep that smile on my face
 ‘Till the very end
 Knowing it won’t last very long
 And my broken heart won’t mend
 
 As I work through life so miserably
 A glimpse of good I start to see
 And my soul gets filled with happiness
 As it settles itself calmingly
 
 I can see and feel
 All my dreams and goals are coming true
 Everything I wished for 
 Was beginning to break through.
 
 I meet a ton of famous people
 And my records all get better
 My grades at school are soaring,
 And my life is now a pleasure.
 
 I don’t know what caused the change,
 But it sure feels a lot better
 To have my life all arranged 
 For the first time since I can remember.
