Growing Up


 

Where did the time go?

How could this happen so quickly?

 

I didn’t think this day would be near,

The day I would start my career

 

High school is now gone,

Growing up is for me to look on

 

Going to college has been my motto,

To give my life a better tomorrow

 

Fun I will have along the way, but I must not forget

That acting responsible will have a positive pay

 

The responsible decisions I will make on my own

Will show at the end that I have finally grown

<p>I like the &quot;coming of age&quot; theme prevalent in this poem. The rhymes and their lines are quite fluid. I am sure many readers will find this poem nostalgic from both ends of the spectrum -- the good times of High School and colllege, the bad times, and the times they will never be able to experience again. Well done.</p><p>7.75/10</p>

<p>I love how real you kept this, and how you realized just how precious time is and how it flys.</p>
