Start Now
Start now.
If you don’t start now when will you ever start?
Tick-tock-tick-tock
Hurry up there’s people waiting in line
There’s people praying for the very spot that you’re in right now
And yet what you’re afraid of is losing?
Pick up the pace
No one cares about you
No one cares about how you’re doing
No one cares about how you’re feeling
They want to see results
They want to see the things that you can do and criticize you for the things that you can’t
Stop for a second
Breathe in and breathe out
Take a break for mental health like the school counselors say
Its okay to take breaks
Its okay to make time for yourself
But when you don’t know who you are how do you make time for yourself?
I need to know who I am and what I am and what I want before its too late
Before its too late.
The people around you have goals and aspirations
They know what they want and they work hard towards it
They have the passion and they’re not lazy
Yeah, that’s right, they’re not lazy
Not like you
You sit in bed rotting, complaining how hard your life is,
When in reality you were that eighth grader praying for the very spot you are in right now
And you complain about your life? You complain about your school?
There’s people dying! For god’s sake, wake up you sloth!
