Why not?


​ The student, just sits and stares.
Into a space cloud of not knowing what is going on.
Not knowing how this class he is taking
will not only help him learn,but will help him become who he wants to be. But no! he sits and talks,waiting for the bell to ring
not caring what the teacher is saying.
She, she is the same as him
only waits for the bell to ring.
While she puts on makeup or listens to music on her phone
 as if it would shelter her like a mother.
no one cares, 
no one believes 
no one sees who they can really be.

Why not try? Why not care?

Why not succeed?

"Oh, thats to much work".

Then how will you get to yuor goal of being successful

if you just put in your bare minimmum every single day!

As tupac would say "why not be that rose from the concrete?"

Why not be the rock in the dessert?

Why not be the hay in the needlestack?

Why not be the diamond in the dump?

Why not be everything yuo can be?

Why not?
