Falcon2001 Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 I've messed up again, over all these years Through trouble and through pain I've let things slide and then been left behind Because of my lack to forsee my fate But now I see what I'll have to do Give it my all, forever. If I don't do what I say I'll do now I might as well throw it all away I won't go gently into that dark night I won't let my life be in vain I'll fight and toil just to reclaim my spot At the head of the fastest lane I slacked off in school, let my grades go to seed And in the end, it strangled me I let things go, didn't look ahead And I took my lessons in bravery And now I'm taking my lessons and putting them to work They'll only really work for me My time has come, to take a stand Against cycles and destiny No, I won't go gently into that dark night I won't let it all go down the drain I'll scratch my way back to sunny days And a life more free of pain No I'll never go gently into that dark night Where the path is certain and tame I'll hack my way to a new destiny I'll weather the storm and the rain
Justin Silverblade Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 Inspiring. Very, very inspiring. My favorite lines (though I love them all): I'll scratch my way back to sunny days And a life more free of pain and I'll weather the storm and the rain What a wonderful way to close it up! Leaves me with a sense of awe. A great strength and resiliance (sp?). Permanency resonds in the earliest statement: If I don't do what I say I'll do now I might as well throw it all away It gives, however, a worriesome feeling. That "this had better work, otherwise I don't know what I can do." But a cycle that comes to light many times in life. I still like the last line. Thanks for sharing! - Justin
Falcon2001 Posted July 16, 2003 Author Report Posted July 16, 2003 The story behidn this is that I am currently 7 classes behind what I need to graduate, and that's if I pass all the normal school classes. My only hope to graduate on time with my class is to give up my friends, and my family and move an hour away so that I can go to school at a different school district and use a program they have that will let me pass. If I don't do it, there really isn't a second chance, this is my only chance to make up for screwing up for so long.
Vigil StarGazer Posted July 16, 2003 Report Posted July 16, 2003 There is not regret toward the past, only the future held within your graps. Determination and will to do your task and then you will succee at last. As long as you are determined to gradurate, and have that thought in your mind for just every minute in that single year i'm sure you'll gradurate. Put your heart into it and make sure to do everything you can do including letting down your pride and ask, letting down your slack and study, and letting down your ignorance and learn. Best of luck, and now every time you come on Irc i'm gonna bug you about homework
