I'm Going to Make My Mark!--poem

I’m Going to Make My Mark!

I’m the one to watch; I’ll make it happen

Just you watch me, I’ll be something special

You won’t be laughing at me, then

I’m going to stand above; I’ll be a well-known star

A household name you won’t soon forget

My face will be recognized, both near and far

I’m not sure at what, yet, oh well

It’s just a matter of time, until it will occur to me,

I’ve got stardom written all over me, you can tell--

Oh, who am I kidding? I suck at everything

I’m nothing special, like Mamma always said

I need to quit fooling myself; “Loserville” is the song I’ll forever sing

Same as it ever was; see? Ripped from a song

Not even smart enough to think of something original

Me thinking I’d ever be something special; the ULTIMATE self-con
