Dork


I'm a dork because I want an education

Because I know that kids are the future of this nation

Because I live and breath with my imagination

Because I thrived on my own deprivation

 

 The word college is whispered in my ear

And now that I'm a senior it's even louder for me to hear

But sometimes I just want to disappear

Because heaven forbid I listen to what I hold dear

 

And I know it's my journey but did I even have a choice?

Sometimes I want to scream above all of the noise

But it's like no one can hear my voice

When I am free from this all, I'll rejoice

 

Today, I'll take it one step at a time

Being a dork , after all, isn't a crime

And I'll keep going, it's my climb

It's my turn to shine
