I never thought

I'd try this hard to impress someone.
Though some is for my own sake and knowledge,
She's pushing me to better the person that I am.
Or at least to add more to myself rather than have my time wasted on people who throw my help away.

I'm tediously trying to learn how to play the guitar, or at least one instrument.
It's becoming quite difficult but I hope I can have the patience to do it.
Though I wish I could get some help on it.

I'm also trying to work out now, to lose some of this weight that I bear inside me.
Lastly, I'm attempting to get my permit this coming week, with any luck.

I want to be better for her, but I realize that I'm also doing it to better myself.
And help me cope with my personal monster.

I hope I can make this...
I hope I can be better...
