ONE DAY


My whole life I have been trying to do what's right

I've always done what my family has told me to

I have never liked what I was told to do

I hate everything I have been doing my whole life

I just want to do something that I love

I haven't found it yet

I don't know when I will find it

But everyone has that one job that will change their life

When I find it I will know it right then

right there

Maybe I will find it in college

Maybe I will find it right after graduation

I will never want to do anything else again

It will be my passion

It will be my love

It will be my life

It will be my everything
