WON'T STOP TIL' I GET THERE!

All I hear is YOLO, You Only Live Once

It seems to be a popular thing

I just can't seem to wrap my head around this saying

People party, get drunk, and then they all off balance

That life just ain't for me so I will keep running

Suddenly I hit this wall marked with YOWO and begin beaming

This is my destiny, this is what I am about ,this is my scholarship, that will soon be in my presence

With all the crazy money issues that my family deals with this could end the constant crying

I could see my parents stop wondering for more jobs in this awful economy and worrying

I can and will finally get vengeance

I will continue to enter other scholarships and keep trying

For me there will be absolutley no stopping

So, If all I have to do is Only Write Once

Then my golly gee You Only Write Once

Something wrong with this poem?

<p>My favorite part of this award winning poem was "For me there will be no stopping." I learned like I mentioned in the poem to use my voice. I know that in order to get far in life I will have to speak up for what I want. I will not stop until I reach my goals and dreams by using my voice. It is important to me to be resilient and never give up.:)</p>
