The start of something new


THE START OF SOMETHING NEW

Summer of 2012

The time I would finally be all on my own

Who knew Hampton University would be my new home

For four years I would reside in the dorms

Only trying to get away from all those bug swarms

Even when it was 100 degrees outside and I had to walk

I would always make the best of it and get my friends so we can talk

I was so happy that the campus was not so big

It was so easy for me to rush back whenever I needed too

Summer was over and it was time for everyone to pack up and leave

But I did not think there was a point to grieve

I knew that we would all be back in the fall

The time is getting closer where I have to go back to school

And I promised my mom and dad that I would not act like a fool

There I go all by myself for a whole year

This really was the start of something new
