The World Is Yours

It happened in the ninth grade

It happened all so quick

I didn’t see it coming

And it hit me like a brick

High school made realize that

My future was so near

I finally realized that

School mattered from here

I focused on my grades

And didn’t let it out of hand

“I want to be a lawyer”!

And I started to make plans

I realized I grew up

And being a kid was in the past

I wanted to be something,

Something that would last

I’d always loved history

And other law stuff too

I decided where my future was

And what I want to do

Through my high school years I glowed up

From the kid I used to be

And it was then I realized

The world is mine to see

It’s time for me to grow up

And be all that I can be
