My life is filtered Yet I still flow forward.

Who I am                                                 In a jam here.

Honor roll again                                     Forgot my goals again

On top of my classes                           

                                                                  Inside, my dreams are a mess

 

A scientist,                                   Wow, that was the best

Role model                                            Any chance that

Eight hours a day                                  Some day I might do it?

 

Youth volunteer                                      Frantic, I'm near

Outstanding in history,                         Real achievements; but no, not today

Understanding my schoolwork          Every night I've more homework

                                                                  Every hour of sleep I've dreams of envy

TOMORROW?

                                                                

Universities,                                Not today, not yesterday, but maybe

High-paying salaries.                          One day I will pursue what matters to me.
