You are > the Highs and Lows
Blue eyes, blonde hair, five foot two how about you?
Shinning teeth, straight A’s, name brand jeans, it’s all the same
From the outside, we are all the same
No one seems too unique
But in reality, each person’s story’s different
Mine began just seventeen short years ago
A trip to Disney sets happy times that seem to last awhile
Coming home, starting school, I was a bubbly child
Loved school, could not wait to learn, sports became my passion
I hit 6th grade and suddenly that happiness seemed out of fashion
Troubled times at home, left me with two parents
Not together, but apart I was confused and often saddened
Weekends here, weekends there, it was all a blur
But slowly and surely, I started to mature
8th grade came and I was thrilled,
High school here I come
In those halls, in those four years, is where you start to find
Who you really want to be and how to get there in time
Labels such as geek, nerd, jock, and prep are often over used
I prefer to not be labeled
To be known for being me
Filled with joy and smiling bright
Working hard to be the best despite those times that took me to a low
Those spots made me who I am today and I would not change a thing
For each every bump along the way
Has brought me to this day
Seeing sadness drove me to make a better life
For not just me, but my mom too
And all of those who pushed me through
