I Am...Built for This!
Location
It would be a blatant lie to say things have always been easy
Or to say that I have always had everything I ever wanted handed directly to me...
That has not been the case
So, I have to set things in their proper place
Me? Perfect?! I have never been nor proclaimed to be that
So, to those who feel they are, I tip my hat
To sit down and put my pen to paper, for me it has been a while
But now I have a reason to do it as if it is going out of style
I grew up in a small town, where I still reside,
Didn't have too much other than my family by my side
I can't say that I didn't have everything I needed
I am beyond grateful for those things, as well as those who, on my behalf, interceded
In school, I was a student who did her best to get those good grades
I stayed out of trouble, so you can say that I was well behaved
I graduated with titles of which I had only dreamed
On that day, the smiles on my loved ones' faces beamed
Like many people expected, I went off to college
To experience a bigger city while gaining knowledge
Unfortunate circumstances caused me to withdraw from school
Having to come home so soon didn't feel cool
A few months went by and I got a surprise
Took a test I couldn't study for, and passed with two lines
After that moment, I retested twice
Someone was about to come along and permanently change my life
Eight months later, my daughter was born
Seeing her face repaired every bit of my heart that was torn
Although she was an unexpected blessing
She taught me one very important lesson
Don't give up on what you want to do
You have to stay focused, work hard, and to yourself remain true
I tried and failed at pursuing my degree afterwards
But as of October 2015, I have been able to move forward
In less than a year, there will be another important change in my life
I will have the honor of becoming a loving, supportive, and dedicated wife
A little over a year after that moment goes down
I will be adorned with my AIU official cap and gown
Life hasn't been fair to me at every turn
Yet I see that it has kept me in a position of being willing to learn
All of the negativity and drama, I can quickly dismiss
Because I found out that I AM BUILT FOR THIS!!!
