I wake up every morning and do the same thing
Put on my clothes in the same routine
I think about when things will ever change
I have one year of school left and then be left at the worlds hands
Should I be happy or afraid of what’s to come
To be put out into the world with a low income
School is a place where I can be taught
Somethings are helpful and somethings are not
I wonder if I’m wasting my life in school everyday
Or will school be something I can look back and want to send my kids one day
I have a whole life ahead of me with a blank picture
And I have the brush
I make my own decisions even though life is mystery for me
Some things are just hard for me to see
I do not live a life where everything is easy
I do not pass every test or make straight A’s
Some people say that is good and some people say you have low expectations
They say don’t you want to live a successful life
And I say I am just the average person just trying to make it by
But I can’t change me…. I can only be me.
