How To Be Inspiring


I want to be inspiring

But working is tiring

I want to be appreciated

I want to feel deviated

Why can’t I be inspirational by doing nothing?

Oh, yes, it’s because my talents aren't all that stunning

But that’s no matter

I don’t have time for meaningless chatter

I have to write

But my words mustn’t bite

I mustn’t be cruel

I must go to school

But school costs a lot

And no money have I got

So to get my education

I must change my instruction

Because I want to be inspiring

And though working is tiring

I’ll change my attitude

And go forward with fortitude
