College Life


Roses are red 

Violets are blue 

Why does my sister keep taking my shoes? 

The sky is blue

The grass is green 

Why do my parents always make me clean? 

As I look out my window

And watch the rain 

Homework is becoming a major pain,  

And working at the café makes me insane  

Now I'm a waitress by day

And student by night 

am attending college to set my life right  

Sometimes its great 

Sometimes its bright... 

Sometimes I just want to say goodnight 

I close my laptop and lay in my bed 

With dreams of the future wrapped in my head 

At the end of the day  

All I can say 

Is that I know everything will be okay
