Focus

I want to become something more than what I am. I can do it, I know I can, but somewhere that will power drops away. I stop thinking about it and in the few seconds I do, I sink. Maybe, because here this world is and I could have changed so much of the way I feel about myself, if I had actually focused.

I’m not good at focusing.

I’ve never been able to stay with one thing for too long, unless I actually enjoy it. I skip around until I don’t want to do it anymore. Is it easier for other people? Am I really just different? I don’t want to be different. I just want to… reach my potential.

In my heart, I know I’m smart. When everyone around me has a higher GPA , it gets to me, but I don’t need a certificate or a higher class to tell me I have a brain.

I want to be these people. I know I can be, but I would rather be smart with myself, than book smart. Because when you focus too much, you lose who you are.
