Dreams and Reality
I thought I knew who I was,
As every average American teenager does.
Actually, it turns out,
I have a lot of things still floating about.
Like which college will I choose?
Next year will I still be free of drugs and booze?
I have high hopes for the year that’s to come,
I will start college and my lingering pain will go numb.
For now I will reflect and makes goals for the future.
In hopes these new lessons will make me a learner.
Once again I auditioned for the Allstate Band,
And as soon as I jumped, to my surprise, I hit land.
This dream and goal I’ve had for years,
Was finally reached with joy and tears.
I journeyed to my birthplace, on a school trip
Enduring long flights, which made my stomach flip.
I arrived in Spain with a groggy smile
And spent twelve days making my life worthwhile.
Of course there were times when I was blue,
I struggled with staying connected with friends I once knew.
I experienced several changes,
Some abrupt and others welcomed.
Still, with my head on my shoulders,
