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!
