You enter a new place.
A small child that is
lost, confused, and helpless
But you will learn it quickly.

Now you may ask what it is.
It is the main focus of your life.
It is the main focus of my life.
It is the main focus of our lives.

The Lesson that takes four years
Is one that will challenge you
And push you to your limits.
It is High School.

High School should be the best,
Rather, so I've been told.
I have to say that in closing this last year,
I have to agree and disagree.

I agree because of the people I've met,
and the valuable lessons I have learned.
I have gathered and developed myself,
and the path I will take is clear.

But I have also seen the dark side,
The side that tears those people away
and obscures your visions of the path.
It has a nasty effect on one's being.

I have a feeling of hopelessness,
I have a feeling of being lost,
I have a feeling of terror, and
I have a fear of the future.

Think about what happens,
after the lesson has come to end.
You lose all those bonds you cherish,
and you may never see around the bend.

I look towards the future,
much like a coin.
That coin that may seem bi-polar,
because we all have to have two sides.

My words have to be presented,
to those much younger than I.
That High School is a time to fix oneself,
But is also a time to cry.

May we all have a better future.
After all there is a new sunrise every day.
And I know for a fact, we will all get past,
That lesson that takes four years.
