Wake up early in the morning
while others are sleeping and dreaming
Books open, mind is fully focused,
determination and focus in the eyes.
Numbers and pages are full with
Unknown words, but try to learn them
because each lesson gives a step
towards this beautiful sky
Balancing school, work, and life
but never losing the hope to reach the sky.
Listening to calming and relaxing music
While her mind is fighting inside of her
Is this true or false, am I correct?
She walks a path, all alone with her struggles.
The road is not a milky way
And it’s never going to stop
One day look down from the middle of the
Clouds and realize every step gave
a huge lesson to travel this far in life.
