Marine
October 27, 2015
They say, I say
They say I am a delinquent,
I say
I am a Marine
They say I won’t make it.
I say,
“I know I will”
And the challenges
I will have getting there
Will only make me stronger,
Bigger.
Faster,
Wiser
Keener,
Better.
So,
Don’t judge this book by his cover,
Read the chapters
And you’ll find
That I have what it takes.
They say,
I’m weak
I say,
I’m strong,
Mentally.
Physically.
Emotionally.
They say
I’m not good enough.
I’m tired of saying,
So I scream.
STOP
Putting me down
I’m GOING to be a Marine.
I WILL protect my country.
No matter what you say.
Thank you.
