I was anxious to grow-up, do what I want.

Thought if I'm willing to work and
make money I could act nonchalant.

Did anything physical labourer
waitress, agricultural, deli server.

Then I was told I wouldn't be
able to do anything physical have
to depend on my education.

I should have stayed in school.

If your mind goes you can still
use your body.

When your body goes you have to
use your mind as a tool.

If you have an education then you
don't have to worry.
