Better than Average
When I wake up
I feel the need to go back to sleep,
Tired from last night's homework
tired from last night's long practice
the desire to back to sleep is heavy.
The bed calls me when Im feeling weary
knowing I need to start getting ready.
But I cant let myself be that average person
I cant let myself miss school
if I let that happen I will be a fool
I need to stay put with my grades and all my classes
I need to stay on top
I wan't to be proudly graduating top ten percent
I wan't to have a great succesful career
that my mother won't have to pay another cent from her pocket.
I can't get over that fear
of not being succesful in life.
I have to be better than average.
Life is not easy
but working hard will pay off
all those times you didnt let laziness take over you
I will be recognized from people,
people who thought I wasn't going to make it
I have to be better than average.
