I am Useful

I am useful
For 12 years in the making I used my brain as a tool
My parents did not ever have to force me to go to school
Yet many talk behind my back like what am I doing this for
Because I am useful
College may drain more money than I can acquire
But my decision will not change for no doubters
I'm an African-American and it might be surprising to see someone with the appearance of mine actually learning
I'm not different from anyone else so I must've been working
I am useful
Because I use my brain as a tool for my success
College will help me further induce my brain to new knowledge
I am me and and seek success for all but my success will come
Because my brain will always be where it's been all along
