It's ok to be lost
Robert Frost said there would be two roads
but the closer I get to them
I see paths, trails, and streams you can paddle down
the problem is not which one to pick
but where am I going exactly
just when everything started to make sense
my vision blurs and my compass breaks
I've spoken to a few travlers, they all knew where they were going
But me, I've done everything to prepare for my journey
at the same time, I forgot what was I preparing for
They sit you at a desk and tell you to go into the real world
they tell you that high school is nothing compared to the real world
If it's nothing like the real world why do I feel the weight of it
crashing down on my shoulders
they tell you to do this and to do that
but after you've given it your best
it's still not good enough
they tell you when you're young to shoot for the stars
and now they say "maybe aim more realisticly"
my whole life I was raised with the thought of two paths
but the choice is much more complicated
The choice was never between college or not
that decision was made for me long ago
but the decision was how much I want it
They give you a taste of the American Dream in the media
and starve you from it, so you crave it
they tell you to go to school so someday you can have it youself
I'm faced with inevitable debt for years to come
This is the harsh of reality of wanting to learn
how can I pick a college that fits me , when maybe I wasn't fit for college
This is the harsh reality of being lost,
but wanting to stay lost
