I am learning


Day by day, night by night

Still trying to figure out what's right

At the end of the day, it's my decision

But I value other peoples opinion thats being given 

Being shy has never been easy

Trying to be peace with everybody, to keep this breezy

 Finding my voice has never been ongoing struggle

I am learning

Learning to get out of my shell,

Doesn't matter what anyone thinks, i will still be well

Now i'm speaking up in my class

Thats something i've never done in my last

Participating in topic discussions

Not wondering about other students assumption

I  am learning

Learning that i'm ok with being myself

To stop thinking about everybody else

Thats something college help me gain 

i'm now sure my voice is going to remain

Still have a long path to grow,

Now i feel coinfifence for sure,

Day by day, night by night

I am learning
