What It's All About

by Justin - Libra

Every morning I look into the mirror
And say what I want to be
Hoping today will make it clearer
Of what it’s all about to me.

Every morning I walk to school
And think of what to say
Of all things that won’t make me a fool
And why it’s all about this way.

Every morning I go to class
And be an original that never fades
And hope that I will one day pass
And why it’s all about the grades.

Everyday I hear some voices
That make me sound insane
And even though I make bad choices
It’s all about the pain.

Everyday I walk a long walk home
And hear my parents fight
And trap myself in a hateful dome
And why it’s all about my fright.

Every night I go to bed
And wonder if this will last
To keep all these influences in my head
And if it’s all about the past.

Every night I talk to my friend
Who makes me feel okay
Who likes me just the way I am, no trend
And if it’s all about today.

Every night I think about my best friend
Who changes all my doubt
With him around the pain will end
And that’s what it’s all about.

Reason for writing:

    I went through a really hard time because I had to go through my parent's seperation. Everday I would get an instant message from him and we would talk. In high school, people can say you have a good rep or a bad rep. I am the one with the bad rep. Even though I have made tons of bad choices, when it all comes down to it, it made me view the world as a different place. It was hard for people to understand because they all judged me except my best friend who liked me for the persom I am now, the person I was.
