The Real Reason Why

 

I’ve experienced late nights and early mornings,

Getting up at the crack of dawn.

And I’ve experienced sleeping in class,

Not being able to do the work because I was so tired from a late night

Because it’s an early morning.

I have two amazing specialties, at eighteen,

That the average human race would be amazed to see.

Me, the one who gets no sleep.

Tired with eyes dreary as they seem to be,

As if I have transformed into a zombie.

My two specialties are what keeps me on,

Or keeps me going.

They’re my motivation, the reason I have late nights and early mornings.

The reason I get up and still pursue my dreams and wait on my diploma I’ll soon receive.

All because of my two children I have at eighteen,

My babies are mommy’s specialties.
