dear hard work
dear hard work i used to hate you
when you called my name i heard it but ran away from you
when i knew you were coming i used to hide from you
when you influenced others to talk me
i quickly made excuses to get away from you
afraid of the pain because i didn’t want to get hurt
afirad to fail so i didn’t even try
and afraid of your name
because of what you’ve done to others
who do you think you are
making me so afraid of who you are
reflection in the mirror
shadow behind me
i take one step and your still ahead of me
sweat in my face
tears in my eyes
i keep on going
i hear you tell no lies
you turn the poor to rich
F’s to A’s
is there anything you can’t do
now look at me
you made me who i am today
and because of you
I have this never losing, never giving up attitude
quitting , thats not in my vocabulary
when they quit i keep going
when they sleep i work harder
when they say that i can’t and count me out
i show them that i can
when i tell them about my dreams and they laugh
i make sure i laugh last
im a dream chaser
that means i chase my dreams and no one else’s
only i can defeat me
its me against this work i put on me
there no losing
i will not lose
i came this far and I’m not stopping now
oh hard work
my dad was right about you
you do pay off
and because of that
i love you
how can i not
I’m no longer hiding from
I’m waiting for you
matter of fact
where are you
i need you
because in hard work
i trust
