Succeeding is believing

Cynthia novotny 1984 (Wilmington de)



She cries herself to sleep
Wondering if she can make it
But if you want to succeed
You got to be a believer

To be someone in this world
You have to reach up for it
By bringing yourself down
Your pulling yourself to the ground

I am hoping to make something
Of myself in this world of mine
You got to reach for the stars
To get a good heights
Of our accomplishments

I don’t know what the future holds
But I know that i only can
Make the future the best it can
I always seem nervous

How do you know someone?
If you don’t get to know them
When the future is about to start
You might want to choose wisely

By getting good grades in school
Is the key in getting a good job for
Your education is the key to life
Now it’s all up to you

So do good in all you do
I hope you want to
Make something of yourself
Don’t we all want to do better?
