The Perks of Being an Undergrad

by simplymarie1

April 1, 2019

I’m an undergrad student

In a community filled with

Leaders

In a community of scholars

I’m a undergrad student

Who leads by example

I’m an undergrad student

I save thousands of dollars!

I’m a undergrad student

I’m sure you’ll agree

That’s why they’ll give me my degree.

One more year

Just wait on it

I’m an undergrad student

It’s a fun and enriching experience

Going to campus events

Getting involved in organizations

Being a college student

Is a lot of work

Lot of expectations

But guess what?

I can do it

I will reach to the finish line

And earn my Bachelors

of Arts in English.

Mom’s Heart

Here, my mom died, killed by the diagnosis of cancer

-the funeral consists

Of beautiful pink roses. In this picture,

There goes a woman laying

Her head against a beam

The thought that there was no more

Human in her body

Seeing her eyes closed

This grief’s too vast for me

Her photograph touches my heart

Noticing how breathtaking it

was to have her on this Earth.

I think of how my day

Has risen

Just like my brother said

She has risen

As long as I stay strong,

She will always remain in my heart.

Our memories will never die

I try to live my life

Like she would want me to.
