I'll be there

Self confidence at another plane...
As my days grew shorter and nights turned long,
my explanations got weirder and answers all wrong,
I realized this could be a problem with no solution in sight,
and taking this into account, I think my mama could be right,
when she said to me, "You are spoiling your life, beware",
I answered,"Don't worry mama, I'll be there".
The books appeared thicker and the notebooks thin,
I was where I had started, no loss no win,
I reflected all glory of times unspent,
the disgraceful aperture of wisdom, I repent,
My friends said, "Why don't you care?",
I answered, "Don't worry dear, I'll be there".
I never gave a second thought to decisions I made,
I never retried tests of life I failed,
All I knew was thatit was me,
And I cared a damn for the others to see,
I'm sure I'll succeed, but don't ask me where,
I repeat affirmatively, "I'll be there".
What stayed with you?
A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.

Kushagra Shrivastavaarchive~2001-2003Great Work --- It seems like this is the story going for most of teens today, want to go somewhere and going somewhere else but what we need to understand is that the " Difference between dreamers and doers is merely acting upon the dreams"
