Worries of a High School Senior

My last year, I made it or so I thought Statistics say college is the only way But what if I can’t afford it Scholarships? I probably won’t get any I mean I’m smart, but there’s always someone smarter And they’ll probably get them Caps and gowns are expensive Well to me they are They won’t let me graduate without buying a new one So that cancels out hand me downs that look the exact same And my mom’s best friend’s brother’s cousin’s hand sown one Job? I’ve tried, filled out plenty of job applications I guess people don’t want a high school student Maybe they think I’m under qualified to handle drive-thru orders Or maybe its because our economy is so bad that adults have to settle for the same jobs I’m applying for It would be nice to have some pocket change Help my mom with some of the bills It would take a load off her shoulders And I would be able to pay for stuff I need for school Is it a good thing to be a senior? Stress of paying for stuff with money you don’t have I have to pay senior fees, really? I thought it was paid for with my hard work and dedication for so many years What happened to a free education? I guess free is overrated and outdated I mean some gave up and some went on a detour But I’m still in the game Ha sorry, this isn’t a game, but a journey I wonder how far will I actually get into it.
