The Times that Flew By, and Others that Did Not.
It is time to go to college
Everything is changing fast
But take a moment to acknowledge
The person you were in the past
Elementary is where it starts
When you had no idea what was going on
All your teachers thought you were smart
Some were right, some were wrong
In Middle School they tested you
Your intelligence was high
They said there were only few
Like you, so bright
But middle school tested you in other ways as well
With bullying and hazing
And the people you couldn't tell
You were different from the rest
You would tell yourself between the tears
As you endured this challenge for popularity
For two long years
The year that followed
You had realized
How big the world is
When you open up your eyes
You figured out that popularity is overrated
And that being youself was cool
Found new friends
And got "A"s in Middle School.
Then High School came
With a great sense of community
Until Sophmore year flamed
A new opportunity
You changed high schools
To work on your AA degree
Two years later
You graduated, yipee!
The time went by fast
And youre a little upset
Don't think about those friends you are leaving behind
Focus on whats ahead instead
