Go the Extra Mile

by zevkaran

When I feel bogged down When I've had enough Life seems like a letdown I feel like I'm in handcuffs When I want to thrive I look around me and sigh I'm barely able to survive It's tough to get by Life keeps on kicking me every day Got a ton of distractions leading me astray Stuck between the archway While my friends are having a field day After my short break to respite I gaze upon the task at hand I observe the topics and revise If I fail, I will be reprimanded The clock struck 2 Would I pull through I wish I could start my project anew Make an amazing debut There is no other choice I have nothing to lose I will have to silence my lazy voice And pull up my shoes Go the extra mile Times are tough for me I just want to be set free Life has no guarantee I feel like an internee The challenge is great But my ambition must be greater I must let my stress ablate I envision performing at the theater The end is in sight My hard work is paying off I make sure to save each software byte I hope I make the cutoff The project IS COMPLETE! Now I gotta rush to school I feel my rising heartbeat As my schoolbus leaves without me I grab my bag and head outside Running as fast as I can I had stayed too long inside I sprinted like a mad man Go the extra mile
