Don't Dissapoint
My drive...what ignites the part of me to be the best me
My fear of disappointment…
I wouldn't wanna spread it to anyone else,
Like a disease.
One of my greatest fears is letting people down
When, in my life, I've been let down more times than fingers on both my hands.
I know how it feels;
It feels heavy on the hopes brewing in your heart
What's worse?
My family sees the best in me...but do I?
I have my doubts; I'm a pessimist that way
But for me not to try anyway...what's the harm in trying anyway?
I push on...I have to prove to everyone,
to prove to them...
mostly to prove to me,
That there is, in fact, value in me,
Not yet seen through my own eyes and mind.
Turn the coal that is now me and push through the ashes to the diamond
Myself...push through don’t dissapoint
Studies...push through dont dissapoint
Diabetes… push through dont dissapoint
Procrastination...push through dont disappoint
LIFE... push through…. DO NOT DISAPPOINT
