Hard Work
I used to hate you. When you called my name, I heard it, but ran away from you. When I knew you were coming I used to hide from you. When you influenced others to talk to me, I quickly made excuses to get away from you. Afraid of the pain because I didn't want to get hurt. Afraid to fail, so I didn't even try. And afraid of your name because of what you have done to others. Who do you think you are, making me so afraid of who you are, reflection in the mirror, shadow behind me, I take one step and you're still ahead of me. Sweat in my face.Tears in my eyes. I keep on going. I heard you tell no lies. You turn the poor to rich, the F's to A's, is there anything you can't do?

I came this far and I'm not stopping now.
Oh hard work, my dad was right about you. You do pay off, because of that, I love you. How can I not? I'm no longer hiding from you. I'm waiting for you. Matter of fact, where are you? I need you. Because in hard work I trust.
