I'll get by

I a year ago was confused. I a year ago thought I had it all down. I a year ago was telling someone how my life was going to be. I a year ago was wrong; and here's why. I a year ago couldn't register why I was getting mediocre grades. I never spoke up when I didn't know how to get to the solution to a problem. I never looked up at the world when they were trying to give me signs pointing to the right direction. I never took the chances that were given to me. One thing that I could say was a good thing about me a year ago is that I believed in myself.

I as of right now believe in myself. But to much more of an extent than last year. I as of right now have found a way to get out of that confusion. I as of right now know I don't have it all down. If anything I'm the one who is down and pinned. I as of now am telling someone how a year ago I knew how my life was gonna be when I actually never did. I as of now can admit that I was wrong and told someone the reasons why. I as of now register why I'm getting the grades I get and they're great. I got honor roll for the first time in all of my high school years. Is that someone to gloat about absolutely not. But I as of now can tell you I a year ago wouldn't have been able to tell you why I didn't get honor roll. I a year ago was scared. I as of now speaks up when I can't find the solution to a problem. I look up at the world and the people who walk on it offering help. Taking the chances as they come. This is a chance for me. To hopefully make up for all the years I didn't know and will continue not knowing. But as long as I believe in myself. I'll get by.
