Today is the day Don't be scared, its okay. Remember, I've been there before It was the best experience and had me wanting more. Are you happy or are you sad? Are you joyful or are you mad? Just remember that your struggle is mine And the experience let me shine! When it was over for me The birds were chirping My parents had lots of soda And my dad kept burping. There will be some fun times And there will be some painful. But just remember your struggle is mine And for that, I am very grateful! You might feel like everyone's staring at you once in a while But here's some advice to you. After it's over buy some sweet new kicks And when they look say "Thanks for looking at my shoes!" There may be some days where you feel Like you want to hide yourself with a hoodie. But remember your struggle is mine So just buy yourself some goodies! When it is over you will wish that it never ended This poem's for you so let me send it. I'm praying for you And your struggle is mine Your struggle is mine mine mine.
