The smallest achievement or success
Is enormous in my eyes;
"Fame" and "fortune" and "world renown"
Compose my coveted prize.
But I am young and still naive
And quick to seek applause;
I lack polish and experience
And am prideful without cause.
It will take years to hone
The words formed in my brain.
As I whet my pen I must remember
That without prudence, there is no gain.
So as I write this weary road,
I must proceed with care,
And if I am wise, I might reach the end
And find my glory there.

When I was fourteen I found a dog.
Once, she brightened my day.
A long time ago she played at my feet,
But now she's gone away.
With her floppy ears and her fluffy tail
That would wag as she gave me a kiss,
With all of the love she gave freely to me,
She will be sorely missed.

As I am going to sleep
I appreciate you once again
Just have this need
To say goodnight
And that everything is gonna be alright
I know,
I can just tell that to myself.
And I will.
You are loved and you're missed here still.

All the late nights are going to my head;
I study and study 'til I could drop dead.
(The whole time I long for my soft, cozy bed.)
Maybe I've thought this too many times over,
But being in high school is SUCH A DARNED BOTHER!
