Growing up!

Location

Sleepy sorrow in the trees,
Here comes the autumn leaves,
Full of color and always changing,
Life will soon be rearranging,
From shorts to sweatshirts in the autumn air, 
To always leaving down your hair,
Schools begun and I'm a junior this year,
What is this I mean how weird,
Then off to collage soon I will go,
And be all grown up like whoa,
I know you don't want me to grow up,
But sorry this time you're outta luck,
I know you guys are gonna miss me and I'll miss you too,
But I promise I'll come Back and visit a few,
This all sounds like crazy talk, 
but it's just around the corner,
Two years is just a breeze and a walk,
And I'll come back feeling like a foreigner, 
Then as I get older New York will be where I live my life,
And hopefully someday become a wife!
But please don't fret,
I'm still just a kid I won't leave you yet!!
