My Future - Rashidah Writs

My future sounds like its so far away

but its gets closer to me each and every day

I’m not sure on what I truly want to be

Everyone around is just confusing me

I promise my family and friends;

I will pursue a career.

But I’m always getting distracted by my peers.

The things that they say seem to always get to me.

But in the future they will eventually see.

They'll see that my hardwork will pay off

They'll be begging me for help on my paid days off

I’m smart but at times I refrain to use my brain

If I don’t decide to now; I’ll go insane.
