education

Location

education teaches more than the books.

Love that turns  to lust, that gets us in trouble

Liking someone, wanting that person's soft touch,

your parents find out and think you’re doing excessive

They instill fear just to achieve power.

You wonder how to leave, you’re counting the hours.

 

education is educational enough.

We learn from mistakes and sometimes, it can be rough at times

Managing work, family, and school.

Raised in church so you don't break rules and get slapped in the wrist with a ruler

You fall all the time, try not to cry,

but there are times you just want to die.

 

education made you this way.

You appreciate the good and endure the long days.

Your life has taught you more, your teacher teach less

you educate yourself as you go

But every moment of your life has give you the motivation to rise above all

 

Success is doing what your heart wants you to do.

That’s what you’re doing. You’ve learned to just be you.
