What I Can Do by Jaeden Yoshikawa

I was never any good at math

But I could add up two plus two
I always wanted to make people proud
But I was a chronic worrier too
I’m never quite completely myself
But I am when I’m with you

I was never great at letting go
But I found out ways to cope
If only I could banish my pride
I’d be better at seeing hope
Unfortunately I’m rather naïve
But at least I can make a good joke

I was never the best at anything
But I think I’m great at love
I can’t tell the future at all
