Degree

I dont have a college degree

Going to school wasnt for me

I  think with my heart

Are our differences that far apart?

But look and you will see

There are still gifts within me

Look beyond the piece of paper

Though,I still gotta live;

Its the creativeness that I'm after

Look and see what my mind can give

Beyond what they say is now the norm;

What i can offer will explode like a  thunderstorm

So dont look for a degree

There is something even more special within me.
