"The sky is the limit" someone once said

but sometimes it's hard to get out of bed

I want to excel and be the best I can be

But sometimes my thoughts will not let me free

I think about the zero I got on a test

and how that really wasn't my best

My parents got mad at the grade that I got

and into the night we faught

they don't understand what it's like for me

I just wish they'd let me be

so I can dream of a day I pilot a plane

and maybe earn some fame

as a military fighter pilot ace

or whatever the case

just let me be whatever I can

and always be my biggest fan

life is hard for teens these days

and growing up seems like a haze

do this, do that, and always try

its so hard to just get by

but pull yourself up by your bootstraps you should

and just do the best, the best you could

and one day you wont be a lonely teen

with all of life you will have seen

it will make you strong and carry you still

until your life's dreams you will fulfill.
