I am that eighteen year old girl
Wondering what life will bring
Just graduating from high school
So happy, I could just sing.
Family and friends are all around
Such a happy atmosphere
All proud of my accomplishment
It’s been a fun senior year
Needing a break from the festivities
I go upstairs to my bedroom
To freshen up my hair and makeup
My friends just assume
Looking at my reflection
In my bedside mirror
Knowing that my life will be changing
As the end of the summer comes nearer
School days cross my mind
People and places I will never forget
What will college life bring?
I’ll meet great friends I bet
I get ready to go back downstairs
When I realize it’s been a while
One quick glance at my room I will soon leave
As I feel a tear fall down, I begin to smile.
