These Thoughts

Life is like a hand full of ice. You get so caught up in how cool it is and how it feels that you become numb and you don't realize that it is slowly fading away. Staring at the clock, tick, tick Time is running out, I have to admit The moonlight hits, the stars throw a fit These thoughts are coming at me like a Quarterback blitz These faces I see, will become distant memories No more friends, no more family Living in reality When you’re young you don’t think this will come But as you get older you get closer to the beating of the drum Sometimes I wonder how life will be after I graduate and have to write my own fate Will I go to college and pursue a degree? Or will I get a job working at dollar tree? Will I grow up to be famous and see new sights? Or will it be a struggle to keep on the lights Sometimes I have ask about the kids in class Will I see them again or will they live in the past? You only live once; they say that’s the motto But I want to know about the day after tomorrow Some nights I get up and start pacing around the room Life seems stressful when I think about June I can’t wait to walk the stage and get my diploma But I really don’t want to be out on my own Is this really it? No more childhood Boy, being a young adult doesn't sound that good There will be no more Mommy; there will be no more daddy You’ll be around people who will gladly fail you And tell you that your nothing, you know the kind of people who are always starting something It will not be that long before I’m a grown up and I have to own up to my mistakes Working long hours without any breaks Life has been a joy ride and it’s been fun But I realized that this is the last one The numbers don’t lie, a man isn't supposed to cry But it’s hard for anyone to say their final goodbye
