My First Year Journey


Looking back and into the future 

Who knew I would've changed 

High school wasn't a breeze 

All the struggles had me weak

Giving up on friendships

That ship has sailed 

Can't really trust anyone 

Focusing on getting everything done 

Going to college for the first time 

Accomplishing milestones and staying on the grind 

Attending a new place with someone you know

Ending up with a strained relationship in the end 

Realizing that what once was isn't what it is now

Trying to find who you were but liking who you have become

It wasn't long ago that you were into all of the hyped up fun

Nowadays you just stay home in bed snug

You know the changes are good for you

But adapting to them was the best thing you did 

In the end you see how much you have grown 

Staying focused and concentrated on your goals 

Hard work shows on those who put in the effort

You know who you are doing it for after all

Making my father proud 

Most of all
