I am seventeen


I am seventeen

What does being seventeen mean

I am not a little bean

 For I am seventeen

Without a care in the world

I am now seventeen

With responsbility, with keen

I am seventeen

Applying myself

Simplifying life itself

I am seventeen

Amplifying, petrifying

Opportunity arises

I am seventeen

Applications sent, recieved

I am seventeen

Acceptance, reward

A goodbye, a hello

Enrollment, the big move

The first day, all over again

I am not seventeen anymore

I am eighteen, and I am in college
