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
