their lives being reflected
is their biggest fear
what all is expected
is not my own plan
the chances they should have taken
the life they wish they had
those important hands not shaken
the goals they never met
always do what's right
always work
never cause a fight
never stop
the goal is not clear
am I living for me?
am I living in fear?
the answer screams
"I just want to make my parents proud"
I am a first generation college student, so I am forced to only see college as my only option. Even though I hate it right now, it’s still a blessing to have this education. I just want to do what my parents wish they could have.
