Why is it that nothing i do proves anything anymore You keep rereading past chapters And ignore my rise from the fall I want nothing more than for you to see how far I've come But change was never an option For me at all So why do i bother striving for better To prove you wrong? To make you proud? One day if you ever shut your mouth and open your eyes to see all that i can be You'll be proud of me and i can rest Making amends with my 10th grade regrets
