Wake up and Succeed

The phone buzzes me awake.

All i want to do is the classic "5 more minutes" but i know i cant

I get up, for them

They want to see me go far in life, to take the opportunities they didnt have

They want me to get up, to head to school, and to do my best.

Because they know my best will get me somewhere, farther than they got

They dont want me to struggle through life, trying to make ends meet

They want me to go to class, to learn, to study, 

And most of all, they want me to succeed. 

So i ignore that "5 more minutes" and get myself out of bed

I get myself going so i can succeed and make my parents proud

This poem is about: 
Me
My family
