life in a nutshell

Today I graduate

I realize how short life is

It seems like yesterday I was on the playground

Playing dodgeball and other rowdy games

Picked last from the bunch but kept smiling

I was always the shorter one

The weaker one

Inside I always was stronger

Stronger then even Hercules

Middle school I was pushed around

Bullied for being myself

But I still stayed strong

High school I made real friends

I could be myself

Now I will be starting a new chapter

The book of life is only just beginning

I am the acorn on the tree

I fell far from it

One day I'm going to be a bigger tree

My life in a nutshell

Literally
