All of These Years


I never thought I would come this far,

It has been a struggle these past thirteen years.

Finally, all I hear is cheers.

This is my year.

 

It is the new year, 

A new me, everyone can see.

Time flies by, can't you see?

What kind of person will you be?

 

I look at all of my friends,

Will I ever see them again after graduation?

Will they have the courtesy to see if I'm still living?

I think to myself...probably not.

 

As the year is coming to a close, 

Everyone seems to be on their toes. 

So much excitement, so much wonder.

How will we see what our destiny desires?

 

This has been a struggle.

Ups and downs, no more clowning around.

This is it. 

This is graduation, 2014.
