I'll be gone from here in just a short amount of time
My decision to go to the army is hopefully sublime.
The Army is the right choice for me but may not be for others
Don't get me wrong. I'm gonna miss my mom, my sister, and my brothers
The town where I live and most the people in it are two-faced
All talk and rumors are of course opinion-based
I was on the town's fire department until I made my last mistake
When they kicked me off I felt like their attitudes were made up and fake
As time progressed I realized I was better off without the so-called firefighter fame
Heck, I got my own place, a cell phone, and a car in my own name
I admit being a firefighter I put to my advantage and maybe I used,
But in the end I felt as if I was the one abused.
This aint no pitty party, but a heads-up, dont pay attention to what others think
What I think about myself is all that matters, other's opinion's just stink!
For example, I was going through a rough time, and all my role model wanted to do was tell me his opinion and yell at me over a past event date
Believe it or not, I listened to him though his advice was a little late
I know what I did was immature and maybe even dumb, but
When he yelled at me it sort of depressed me and made my feelings go numb
When I think about going away and missing out it makes me frown
But I also can smile when I am able to leave this stupid town
It may sound harsh, and maybe even a little mean
But just think Im making something of myself at nineteen
The whole rash decision to join isn't to show up anyone or prove
I just know the Army will put me in the whole maturity groove
I still don't know where they got me being immature and careless
It's just another opinion that doesn't matter, but an opinion nonetheless
And before I stop writing and get really mad,
Just know that I always knew the choice to move here was bad!
And, to all the people I thought wouldn't judge me on public view,
I have only one thing to say, and that is SCREW YOU
