Rising
Rising toward my goal is one of my many dreams
Now I am taking that step
Swimming against my own streams
I don't expect it to just arrive on my doorstep
All I can listen to are the clicks of the keyboard
Thinking about why I am here
The reasons being like a double edged sword
Losing them is my worst fear
So here's a toast
To the people who have gotten me here
To every incident being like a broken lamppost
Flickering till clear
I am doing this for everyone and the memories I have with them
For some I wish they would have more faith in me
To see their proud faces and for them not to condemn
For them to smile because of what I've done is why I am doing this
That is why I want this scholarship
Their smiling faces to me would be absolute bliss.
