All up to me?
So, it's all up to me?..
To write something that someone will read and find meaning in?
It's all up to me?..
To be rewarded a scholarship for my college education?
Doesn't seam like it... because really all I can do is participate.
All I can do is write something down that HOPEFULLY someone would read and actually relate to.
Maybe get a consideration, maybe even a second look...
But surely this so called, "poem" will just be tossed to the side,
Tossed aside like a cast away, It doesn't even belong.
I guess I should have named this poem Outsider, but that would have been wrong.
This poem ain't golden and my names not Pony Boy.
Even with my assured doubts a slouch would pounce on this oppurtunity.
Tired of being over looked, done with being recognized.
I don't give a DAMN about the money or the grand prize!
You know... I wrote this poem cause of the name of the scholarship.
"It's all up to you"
I just wanted to let you know it's not all up to me...
It's up to you readers who are looking this over.
