My worst habit

 

I am here
       Hear me you don’t
                         Don’t bother listening up
                                                       Up is turned your head
Heading toward a different way
                                    Away from opinions I speak

Speaking to another face
                           Facing something more important to you

You don’t care
             Caring is my worst habit

The successful life

 

Born…
To learn to walk and talk
To read and write
To get an education
To receive a diploma
To get another education
To receive a degree
To find a job and work
To make money
To retire
To die

 


Parental motivation

 

He goes home scared
All is a success but that one
That one mark that is not good enough
Doesn’t meet up to parental standards
Parental standards have become life standards
Nausea, panic, fear fill his stomach
His best is never enough
Feeling worthless he tries again
