now an adult who drives a car
he is going away to Oregon State
my brother is 18 and much older that me
he is leaveing for college
leaving me
i will miss him
but i know
Oh!, Fellow reader, I swear to the pen
To interpret this experience, it's incapable
Yet, I will pen how rapid it all went,
Like a storm of dust, it dazzled me first
I wasn't aware enough to decide,
I’ll start slow and easy ‘cause you see
I’m new to this, like, ranting’s breezy
But rapping about things can get too cheesy
I’m no Eminem but I’m not even Yeezy
Or Lin Manuel Miranda- that guy’s the OG
Birds of a feather flock together,
born on the 23rd of october,
here comes Wanya after Wilber-t,
seven mintes after his brother.
They were brought into this world together,
I looked onto my laptop with my finger floating over the the "enter" key. I hesitate for a minute before closing my eyes and clicking the button. I just signed up to take my nursing entrance exam.
This new found freedom I let it go to my head
No parents around to tell me to go to bed
All grown up now and I can't even front
It feels real good when I can do what I want
I stay up and skip class
Pack your bags it is time to go,
Say goodbye to your friend..or even your foe,
Let your parents know you are going to be okay,
Because there is nothing for you here if you stay,
Tell your love it is tie to fly,
My fingers trace the vinly table tops
Eyes peeking out over the tops of too big glasses
Sitting in a too big room
The teacher keeps talking
My fingers trace the vinly table tops
Eyes peeking out over the tops of too big glasses
Sitting in a too big room
The teacher keeps talking
Within my heart, a terrible fear
Has swelled and beat and filled the ears
One beast I say caused all the tears:
“How to Pay for College.”
Reading, skimming, can I?
No.
Please, just come, you have to-
No.
I'll go, alone... I'll seek a means
And perhaps unfold a tangled dream.
That clout, that spirit
It's held so high.
Dear Mom and Dad,
I love you both
You've clothed me and fed me before I could do it for myself
You've helped me through all of my problems
You've stopped me from doing things I shouldn't
You've raised me
What’s in my head?
Why can’t I be dead?
Who said I shouldn’t dread
A future that led
To bright things, they said
Going to college isn’t a requirement Going to college is most definitely a privilege Going to college is a privilege I believe all KidsShould partake inGoing to college in our society is seen as a GrammyGoing to college is a Grammy because now you
I vaguely remember I time where it was better,
A time I could use to slumber,
Grades, Classes, GPA all of it now seems to matter more,
Who would've thought the girl averaging nothing but C's and B's in high school about to be a Alumni of a University within a year. So many people say oh go to the school close to home you probably won't last away from home.
Ankh
No two days are the same;
Life is experienced in stages,
We cycle through different identifies till
We find the perfect one.
I haven’t found the perfect one,
but
staring at your fingertipswhere've you been
in line with all the innocentsyour just not them
the time is passing through your clockits only one
but the fights been overand you just haven’t won
I drown in worry. Where will I be in a year? What will my plans be? Will I be happy? Is sucess all that I need? Is there more to life? Past expectations. There must be another way.Something beyond plans. To break through bound'ries,we must accept
