You won’t amount to much
They said
Get your head out of the clouds
They said
You think you’ll graduate high school?
They said
You want to go to college?
They said
You think you’re smart?
They said
You want to prove me wrong?
They said
Go for it!
They said
But don’t be disappointed
They said
I amounted to more than you thought
I said
I never stopped dreaming
I said
I graduated high school
I said
I went to college
I said
I’m damn smart
I said
I proved you wrong
I said
I went for it!
I said
And I am thrilled
I said!
