Click, Click, Click.
All I hear
as I push my pen up and down
attempting to soothe my nerves.
So much to do
so little time
freshman year will be gone
before I realize
What good am I
If I am just there?
What good am I
If I am only doing a
\"decent job?\"
I need to be the best
all of the time
What good am I
if I am not the best
all of the time.
All of the time.
What good will I be?
What good am I?
Finals are coming soon.
With a rush of wind
And a hint of nausea
If I do not win those awards
Make Dean\'s list
Then what am I?
I need to be the best all of the time.
And if I am not, what good am I?
In the world.
\"It\'s okay,\" My friends say,
as I show them my grades,
A 90 in green, just passing by
\"I wish I was you\"
\"You\'ll be just fine\"
\"An A is still an A\"
That\'s what they all say
Until they are in my mind
Wondering \'What am I?\"
What will I be?
If I am still stuck in green?
Just barely proficient
No, I want to succeed.
If I am still stuck in green
No awards, no accolades
For me.
I often wonder, is there any future for me?
What good am I, if I am only there?
Sitting in the chair.
Not giving the valedictorian speech.
What good am I, if I don\'t succeed
I need to be the best.
All of the time.
