Things, coming and going without a weeks notice

Like a gust of wind and a falling lotus

Leaf, as the seasons change, we all wonder

Where the time went as soon as it hits summer

Time, I never pictured how it could have went

two weeks turning to 6 then 8 then 10

My first year left me, wishing I could see it again

I wish I could go back to relive a different way

To when things were simple, that's where I’d stay

With middle school crushes and high school looming close

To college now, a distant comatose

It felt like last week when I got my first car

Thinking about it now makes me realize how far,

How far life takes you without your notion

Thousands of scenarios like fish in the ocean

I’ve felt many emotions over my years of high school

From being happy to looking like a fool

I’m proud of my strengths and things that make me, me

Especially those skills that helped make my college free.

I'm happy for my excitement to reach for the stars

Doing so has helped me know my ability to go far
