It's Up To You!

Location

Stigler, Oklahoma
United States

They say life is but a vaper, 

disappering quickly.

The thought of helping others may sound naive,

but to me it's my dream.

I've stumbled over ideas, 

tossing pointless ones to the side so that I could see

the one thing that I know God has for me. 

Caring for people and giving input where it needs to be. 

Psychology.

 

Everyone said "you can't do it", 

but my mind says I can.

The only obstacle I have at hand is the fee 

that the University wants from me.

Trying to put forth my best

is like a test. 

Every job I've had doesn't cut it, 

Pell Grants come and go, 

but the lack of money still stands. 

My part-time job doesn't stand a chance

at making my dream become my reality. 

 

So my hands are tied and it's up to you,

unlock the door so that I can pursue?
