Only Just Starting

I'm only just starting,
it's hard but I'll get to the top.
They're only just laughing,
that doesn't mean I should stop.

In life there are those that'll love you,
but others that will try to break you.
In life there are those who'll tell you things,
so you would want to quit.

I'm only just starting,
like everybody else has.
I'm still being the artist
that nobody knows of yet.

There are those who helped me get stuck,
and then there are those who wished me good luck.
