I won't give up on me
My heart, my mind and my soul
It's hurting me to even let this show.
Giving up was never an option for me
but obstacles in my way wouldn't allow me to see.
I'm doing the best that I can, I promise!
deep down inside I want to scream and yell
desperately yearning to tell.
So that someone can tell me to keep pressing
But my dreams won't allow me to keep second quessing.
Because college is a gaurantee
even though I'm in financial need.
