Is That So Bad
You're being ignorant
You're being unreasonable
That's how I used to feel
Opportunity was knocking at my door
And you wouldn't let me answer it
Now I realize that it was only a matter of time
Before the obvious was known to me
***I was being selfish
I was being ignorant
I was being unreasonable
I thought I could have a chance to be somebody
I thought I could be known world-wide
Maybe that was the problem
Did I think too much about things that could never be?
A two-hour drive was all that separated my goal and me
But it doesn't matter anyway because
***I am being selfish
I am being ignorant
I am being unreasonable
Maybe a time will come when this will all change for me
A time when I can stretch far enough
To reach my dreams
But until that time comes
I need to stop being depressed about what could be
And start striving for what will be
How can I be so blind to others?
I'm wondering to myself about why this can't happen for me
Why I can't go for my goals
When I should be wondering about why I'm fifteen
And still don't have a boyfriend
Although that's a different story altogether
My time to shine will come soon enough
It will... right?
***I don't think
I'm being selfish
I don't think I'm being ignorant
I don't think I'm being unreasonable
I am simply a girl going for her dreams
Is that so bad?
