Dare to do Everything

May 1, 2014

My car doesn’t run

I hate my grocery store job

And drama is so overrated

I want to be done

Get out of here and be through

Because high school is something I’ve hated

But what can I do? What could possibly change this?

I just need the chance to prove I’m not worthless

But what can I do

When college has not come

But sit back at wait for the time I want

To prove that I can do it

I won’t give up

And that I’m smart enough to do the things I love

You want me to tell you

What my dream job is?

It’s being whoever and whatever when the time comes

It’s acting, escaping

Being something else

Without getting in trouble, I can say what I want

I want to meet people, see places, do things

Without money being an issue like it’s always been

I don’t care for fame

I just want to adventure

I’d be an extra on “The Walking Dead”

Or an angel on “Supernatural”

No matter what happens

I know I’ll be content

After all, nothing is better

Than daring to do everything you’ve always wanted

Something wrong with this poem?
