Changes


 
A year is an hour 
 
An hour is a second
 
Look at the clock tower 
 
Time goes by slow was what I reckoned
 
 
The future was near but seemed so far 
 
I was living in the past 
 
To see that I was dwelling on a scar
 
Time moves at the speed of light, silent but fast
 
 
A realm where the future did not exist
 
It’s called high school 
 
A realm where responsibilities did not exist
 
It’s called youth
 
 
“College is far from now” 
 
It’s only a year away 
 
Friendships and connections have been sowed
 
Those were the days
 
 
I’ve grown
 
Failures and victories exist
 
I have combined everything I’ve ever known
 
An immaculate creation of a new mind to work for a wish 
 
 
Everything that makes me who I am
 
Derived from my past
 
Everything that creates my vision
 
Shows what I have surpassed 
 
 
A year ago 
 
I was unmotivated, afraid
 
Today
 
I am confident, my determination unswayed.
