Pride
Yes, I know
That I should get a job,
Volunteer my time,
Do something productive.
Yes, I know
I could have earned
A better math grade,
Stayed awake in class,
Never been tardy.
Yes, I know
I could be a better person,
More patient,
More conservative and sensible.
Yes, I know
Sometimes I lose it,
Fight mean people,
(Especially Gena).
Yes, I know
I've been through it,
Put myself in
Unusual predicaments-
Places I didn't want
To be.
Yes, I know
I can be hypocritical,
Selfish,
Say things I regret.
Though, I want
To be a better person
Because I know
My father is proud of me.
