From Escalators to Stairs
Location
Imagine you were a boy
born with a big head
Your parents thought you were smart
with a cranium that feels like lead
As I grew up in many places
Learned in many schools
My goal for grades were secondary
And for my parents to think I'm cool
School was easy for me
With a big brain and ego than most
Which came around and bit me
When graduation came close
School just then got harder
My grades were starting to fall
I looked to my distorted reflection
It felt like a curtain call
Such a thing never felt this bad
It's like falling from Cloud Nine
I took my belt to fit my neck
To see if it could bind
All because I found
something distracting that I loved
I failed to make my parents smile
Who are looking from above
But then I thought of the distraction
My frown went upside-down
So I fell further and hit the suface
and I realized what I found
It's not the distraction that ruined me
It's something that I enjoy
There's nothing wrong with a hobby
That releases your inner boy
But that can't help you in school
He only sees what he wants
So when the time comes, put that boy away
And show you have yet to daunt
It's not the head that your parents love
It's for what who you are
Stairs mean more work than escalators
But you'll be garunteed to go far
