Hard Work

I'm tired today

But I'm tired everyday I suppose

So many things to do

So many goals

So much work

But it'll all be worth it in the end

It'll all be worth it in the end

That's what I have to keep telling myself

Because I am one of a kind

No one's been through what I have

I accomplished goals

Got my degree and became a military officer

Sure am proud of that

But you always want more

Get a master's degree they said! It'll be fun they said!

Be a nurse! Be a healthcare provider!

You weren't that but it's ok!

Maybe it will be fun

It will be

I am excited for a change

This was my original goal

But life

Oh well

But now I think I can only prepare so much for the work yet to come

Living in a constant state of tiredness

A constant state of “what day is it?”

“When can I go back to sleep?”

“When can I go eat?”

“When can I take a break?”

Got to get used to that

But it’ll be worth it

If I can achieve my dreams, anyone can

Hard work is inevitable folks

But I’ll get there

We’ll get there
