Most Difficult Time In Life

The most difficult time in your life

Is not when others don’t understand you

It’s when you don’t understand yourself

So you walk around all confused

Everyone wants you to do this and that

but you just want to be left alone

You’re trying to figure out

who you are & what you want in life

While hundreds of colleges send letters in the mail

saying why you should go there & all that jazz

You’re parents keep telling you

you will have to decide soon

but you see the list of majors

So many to choose

How will you ever decide?

Yet you have to choose just one

To do for the rest of your life

You don't know what you want to do,

but the clock is tickin’

You walk around wandering

How can you decide what you want to do

For the rest of life

When you can't even answer

A very basic question

Just who are you really?

And no I don't want your name

When you're a freshman

You tell yourself

That you got time

Then you look up one day

And realize you're a junior

And that next year is graduation day

Now you're stressed

Cause as a junior

You got to start applying to colleges

And hope you get accepted

Gotta hurry up and take the SAT

or even the ACT

If your GPA is low

You got to pull it up fast

Or you're never get accepted

At least, that's what society says

You want to go to college

And make your parents proud

But you're kinda scared

People always talk about how much it cost

And you don't know

how you're going to afford it

So you try to get scholarships

And take on students loans

You always been told by society

That those who go to college

Make more money

That to get ahead required a degree

So now you got to make a life long

A life changing decision

No one cares that you're only 18

You got to make a decision

So what's its gonna be?
