The former individual


This is for me back in high school,

always being smart and compasionate but you wanted to act like a fool

becoming a tool for all of your dudes.

The persuasion was spot on,

you desired to take shots, 

but you know the effects it would have

and thankfully said "nah."

You wanted to me a rebel, like a robber

but now we see that we must be a scholar.

It was becasue of you that I realized this

"stay in school" we were adviced this

and we fully complied this.

We knew that if we did not step up,

we were never going to blow up, 

not becoming our dream person from gowing up.

Use to spend time playing video games

but now we spend time writting essay.

little by little becoming extremely elongated,

and crucially complicated.

We are getting through this rough patch,

just remember to stay on the true path,

improve the skills that we lack,

and soon you will start to make stacks. 

So until next time my friend,

we still have lots to do before our end,

so stay true and never pretend.
