The Best Years of My Life

As I walk onto the campus,

Their words ring in my ears,

These are the best years of your life.

The first year I was new,

Too unsure to make new friends.

I'd let them come to me,

and when they didn't,

I'd just pretend.

The second year just came and went,

Passing all my classes.

I gained some friends that year though,

Thanks to my good grades and my glasses.

Junior year was hard,

Just like the seniors said,

When I get home,

I do my homework, do my chores,

Then I die in bed.

My last year was full of promise,

Looking to the future!

But then I look at all the scars,

That I got that in that short while.

So, I sigh.

As I walk onto the campus,

Their words ring in my ears anew,

Enjoy yourself,

These are the best years of your life.
