I've Got to Trust Myself
Can't think straight
 Can't think straight
 Can't think straight
 I've got homework to do
 About an entire summer's worth
 I've got sisters to take care of
 Four or really five
 Depending on how you look at things
 I've got a computer to fix
 The very same one
 With every writing piece I've ever written
 Every photograph I've ever taken
 Every memory I've ever made
 I've got a lost friend to guide
 He's sort of an acquaintance though
 Don't know how I'm going to get him to
 Trust me
 I've got my first year of high school to prepare for
 As the freak that even the other freshmen don't get 
 And never will
 I've got a guy to impress
 Really, it's two though
 Counting the one I never gave up on
 And never will
 So, I guess that makes it one again?
 I've got a book to finish
 To publish
 The book that I've been writing for two years
 And is now awaiting its death sentence 
 On my broken computer
 I've got pain to release
 Years worth of memories I don't want to remember
 I've got friends to keep up with
 Sometimes they're way ahead of me
 And I can't catch up
 Sometimes they fall behind me
 And I just can't slow down and wait for them
 I've got guidance to listen to
 Signs to notice
 Roads to take
 But I've also got stress
 Which puts me in a frenzy
 Makes me fear things I shouldn't
 I've got to clear out my head
 There's fifty-six million thoughts running through it
 And when I try to clear them out,
 My impatience gets the best of me
 I've got to calm down
 Take a deep breath
 I've got to go with the flow,
 Move on,
 And trust myself
