On My Own


Playing soccer i was never tired

in my job i was never fired 

we won states while i was riding the pine

and i made it to regionals when i actually tried

tennis had the success

but i never confessed

that i didnt know who i was

thats all because

i was infatuated with success in soccer 

that my motivations for other things altered

such as friends

no ones is there in the end

but i never feared at all

because i always had a call

to my mom or my dad

that would be there for me

but what will happen when their not there to answer

im one step closer to being an angineer 

but it doesnt change my biggest fear 

of being on my own
