I was always told to be my best
Excel at what I try
I won’t fail you, mother
I’ll do the work
I promise.
Promise broken….

I was always told to be my best
Excel at what I try
I won’t fail you, Father
I’ll do what I’m told
I’ll pass
I failed….

I was always told to be my best
Excel at what I try
I wont fail you, Brother
I’ll do what I know is best
I’ll learn from your mistakes
I never learned….

I always aspired to be the best I can
Do what I can
I won’t fail myself
I’ll pass this year with at least a 2.9GPA average
I’ll turn in my work
Raise my hand
Ask questions
Always the resistant one
Sitting at the back of the class
Ignorance taking hold….
