Too Much


The ideology of taking that next step to college can be a blessing yet depressing

Not one day can I not include a period of stressing

We are glorified having the oppurtunity to float across that stage knowing we made it

But into several years of debt... we have made it

This is why we must apply for so many scholarships

But with this hard truth we must come to grips

It leaves a smart educated teen fading from the college of his dreams

He will never be finacially stable... that's how it seems

He ponders if he will be able to have fun in college

In what cheap way will he be able to acquire a knowledge

Are scholarships really having an effect on a sixty thousand dollar tuition

Its not like they partition, act as an addition to our ambition,

But instead we must remain in submission, crying over our admission

It's like they are ridiculing us for an ambition to succeed

For example it's like he'd, begin to bleed, but from the hospital he will have to secede

Because he can't afford the bill, surviving off of his everlasting will

At least Obama has introduced Health Care

God bless that man I hope he remains there

But that is not the solution to our problem

Once we exceed that is when we can truly blossom
