School and Me

School I must attend For knowledge so they say The key to life is education So in class I paid attention After years had passed It was time I got tested I sat for my examination Doing best with determination Results! Results! Results! I heard after a few months Disaster! Disaster! Disaster! My efforts were a total failure My relationship became a mess And my friends cared less Parents said I was a disgrace For I had lost my golden chance Though my faith was shaken And my heart was broken I promised to strive In this world to survive At me they laughed And said no where will I reach That my dreams were now dead And merely just things I preach “You are just a laughing stock” They say and they mock But I work hard around the clock Knowing I’ll find my own flock. I tried hard to be strong Searching where I went wrong Clinging and holding on What my heart desired so long Beware! Life is a journey You have to find your own way. Whether you stumble and fall Whether you leap or crawl Deep in your heart you know As your humble efforts grow You shall reap what you sow!
