I awoke to realize that I had no time
That today is when I will start to take back
Finished with the daily hassle and grime
It is time to get my life on the right track
Now to live my dream

Announcing my plans to soon begin anew
Family and friends their eyes begin to well
School and work are both important it is true
But if I live my dream with pride I will swell
Tomorrow begins a journey

Following my dream I sit inside my car
Thinking and smiling as I now leave behind
My job and my school and now raise the bar
The miles I have drove have paid off when I find
The port to adventure

Enter the recruiting station I shake hands
Sitting and talking of brighter tomorrows
The paperwork we signed and when I stand
Nothing but happiness and no more sorrows
I'm living my dream

Once again we talk business and we discuss
The life I'll live possibility of death
A rapid life change I'll begin living thus
My dream is here I'll be until my last breath
A Untied States Marine
As the poem suggests, I decided to leave school and work and join the Marine Corps. It's been my life long dream and nothing else seems to be satisfying me as far as long term goals. I feel like I made the right decision and I'll leave this here.
