I Passed a Test

I passed a test I took two steps forwards I'm nearing success But just as I leap My heart begins to sink Cause I am free from this test But that doesn't free me from the rest Before counting meant 1,2,3 Now I have to count credits Do they all add up to how many I need? If it isn't one thing it's another I was so happy about this test I almost cried So many nights I'd lie awake thinking If only I could pass this test I will be free as a bird Flying from it's nest But this test was just my test I don't know how ironic that is So here I am in a new state A new mind Why is it that the taste of victory never Lingers in your mouth for long? I have new obstacles New roads to cross But I will take in this moment A moment where I felt Extremely proud For one instant no outside voices ruined my Joy For once I succeeded. I passed the test. I made it through.
