My Future Poem by Nick Smith

So many paths to choose, so many roads to take.
I got to think hard, this is my future, I don't have time to make a mistake.
Basketball, The Army, college, are just a few of my options.
The clock is ticking, time is wasting.My life is spinning into so many directions.
At times I lay in my bed, looking up, feeling lost.
Determined to be successful, no matter the cost.
I vitalize raising a family, but I can't picture my career.
I believe I can do anything, there is nothing I fear.
I had a tough past, it took a lot to survive.
Made a lot of mistakes, and I'm blessed to still be alive.
Negativity is the fuel for my success.
Go ahead and doubt me, I'll lay your doubt to rest!
I got a heart of a fighter, I can't be stopped.
Whatever my future holds, I'll find a way to be on top!
