I remember back in the day
The sky above was a hazy gray
And things just weren't going my way
I figured things wouldn't change
Until I got my priorities rearranged
Setting my goals in an attainable range

Tired of always standing still
I decided to make the trip up hill
Finally putting to use my skills
Knowing that if I give my all
The reward would be far from small
And in the end I'd stand tall

So I put the pen to pad
Wrote out every emotion I had
Whether I was happy or sad
Got everything off of my chest
Taking away all of my stress
Which gave me a good night's rest

Ever since I chose to write
I've kept my mind in the right
No longer do I toss and turn every night
My thoughts were put into ink
Into the white paper they would sink
Allowing my life to get back in sync

Writing is forever a part of my life
Without it, nothing would be right
