drop outs

by Lover of life

They never know what could have been, what should have been.

They never know what will happen as a consequence.

They don't know till the jobs are scarce and don't pay enough.

They don't know until they are on the streets or untill they join the military.

What they don't know many can see or have seen.

Life is harder as a drop out, especialy now.

Why drop out ?

Why give up on you?

Is it easier to take another path?

Is it better to give up then to work for the best for you?

you will see what i mean when you do it, until then it is a tempting path.
