Everything is NOT Awesome (But it will be)


Every day I was told
You can do it
You get great grades
You'll make it
You'll be awesome
But look at me now, groveling at everyone's feet

I'm not awesome
Everything is not awesome

But it will be
Because I'll make it that way

My life will be awesome, 
Because I'm going to make it
Because I'm going to show who I am
Beause I'm not going to stay in this place
In this town
In this house
 

Just so I can let 
     myself 
                 down
I'm standing up so I can finally learn what I dream of
To get closer to that dream
To be the first person in my family with a degree

To live life as I want to

That.. And then, will everything be awesome.
