I wrote this on December 3, 2010. 13 years old. Just sitting in school one day.
I take this road
You ask me, "Why
Do you take this road
With efforts high
The difficult road
You always choos
Where along the way
You just might lose"
You don't understand
Obviously, you don't see
The way that it looks
How it is for me
You ask why I choose
When I've all of these loads
But why do you assume
That I see two roads
If you take shortcuts
You'll just get cut short
It never pays off
It never is first resort
The long way is worth it
I promise you that
Wherever it takes you
Wherever you're at
You can't tell me otherwise
For I know this is true
My only hope is
I get this word into you
You can't put me down
You cannot make me fall
While I may be weak
I will stay standing tall
Through all that I suffer
Everything I endure
For the pain that I feel
There is no known cure
When you've an amazing best friend
Along, the cure will come, soon
Don't tell me the sky's the limit
When there are footprints on the moon.
