Bright Lights


The agony, the struggle, the fear.

The fear of disappointing others,

The agony of fear overruling your body,

The struggle to make others happy,

 

Family is fear,

to find success in myself will be near.

Community is agony,

to have society put so much pressure on your back.

School is the struggle, 

staff and students having expectations for yourself.

 

Together, forms confidence

and bright lights to highlight all the achievements in one's life.
