Better


I need to get better

I HAVE to get better

            but why?

I need to get better for my sister

                                        for my mom

                                            for my dad

So they can all stop worrying

                                             for my friends

                                               for my safety

                                                     for my future

That's why I HAVE to get better  

    But I'm just waiting for the day 

            That one day....

When I will get better

                    for me.
