One day I’ll stop faking It till I make It 

It might take a bit 

Even though I don’t want to  

Story continues below advertisement

I’m doing It for you 

 

One day I’ll stop overthinking

Even without sinking

Although It feels like I already am 

I’ll build a dam 

 

One day I’ll know how to cope 

But I just need to have hope

stay away from my mind set 

But I’m still not there yet 

 

One day I’ll be able to say I did It 

I just have to realize It’s not permanent 

My anxiety and depression work overtime 

I just need to try harder than before this time 

 

One day I’ll stop apologizing so much 

I tend to think It’s my fault and such

Even If I know It’s not my fault 

My punishment tastes like salt  

 

One day I won’t hate looking in the mirror 

It will hopefully someday be a lot clearer 

I like the dark because I can hide In It 

But that only lasts a bit 

 

One day everything will make sense 

Maybe coming here was a mistake no offense

I don’t know how long I can keep this up 

Especially without a coffee cup

 

One day I won’t be as paranoid

I’m starting to get annoyed 

I’m always looking behind me to be sure 

Just so I know I can stay pure   

 

One day I won’t feel so broken 

But it remains unspoken 

Because what I say doesn’t matter 

They can’t hear over their chatter 

 

One day I won’t believe what everyone tells me 

I won’t be overthinking till three 

I’m supposed to think I’m worth more than a rumor 

But I have a really bad sense of humor 

 

One day I’ll believe I’m good enough 

But that’s going to be really tough

Nico Parker, Editor
My name is Nico Parker. I write poetry and song lyrics. I am currently teaching myself to play guitar. I am class of 2025. I have been an AVID student since 7th grade. I've been writing poetry since 9th grade and song lyrics since 5th grade.  I would describe myself as creative, determined, empathetic, understanding, and a leader. I value my writing because creativity is easy to demonstrate in writing. I plan to use my writing to become an author and/or a musician in the future. Top colleges I would like to attend after high school include New York University and Northridge.
