Look At Me Now

So many times I’ve been counted out,
Yet here I still stand figuring it out.
The diploma read ADVANCED in caps,
Now look at me with a graduation cap.

They doubted me in high school,
I rose above them that’s how I do.
Say what you want, think what you will,
Jesus is the one controlling my wheel.

Finding my path took a moment,
I just needed more time to orient. 
See me now secured like a post,
So I’m looking to make the most.

Doing my best to get established,
A college degree will be accomplished.
Piece by piece it’s coming together,
I can’t wait to say, look at me now.
