Because maybe I'm not good enough!

Maybe I'm one of those people that has always wanted to do it, but it's like a pipe dream.

And I can go back to school, and I can find something else that I'm supposed to do.

And I don't want to do it anymore.

Why don't you want to do it anymore?

Because I think it hurts a little bit too much.

I'll be out front at 8:00 am.
