A Poem For You

(Commencement)

 

Trying hard everybody,                                            It’s not!

Just pushing and pushing through,                            My feet are bleeding,

It seems like the wall won’t break?                           Sand of Glass,

Breaking sweat and loosing tears,                              Cuts, wounds, and tares,

To me it’s all just a waist,                                        My arms are getting week,

I don’t know what to think,                                     And my breathing is heavy,

I don’t know what to do,                                         But I’m still not going to bear down,

Except keep pushing this thick brick wall,                  I’m going to keep going!

I’m still young,                                                        My dreams are going to be fulfilled!

I haven’t even got half way,                                     I will be the light!

Sometimes it’s like my feet are stuck in the sand,        I know I’ll make my mistakes,

Man! This is hard!                                                    But I’m human,

Brick wall?                                                              Not perfect,

Sand?                                                                      I’m trying to get it right,

But you know what?                                                Before I go to heavens’ home,

I am going to keep trying,                                           But not with this brick wall in my way!

If I die trying,                                                          I loved the Lord with all my heart,

Then I know I tried,                                                 My mind, spirit, soul and body,

I want to make it!                                                     He is my reason for everything,

That’s how I want to die,                                          He is my creator!

I want to be a light!                                                  The reason why I keep pushing this wall!

want to make it to God,                                             So I sweat and I push,

But I’m just human,                                                  And my feet are in the sand,

A little girl with big dreams,                                      Digging them up and over,

Trying to make those dreams come true,                        My world is spinning,

I just know I can do it!                                               With an ambition inside,

So much is trying to come against me,                            Right now I’m still pushing,

But I can’t let it take me down,                                   I will get to the breakthrough.
