Slowly but surely, we watch everything change.
We watch the array of events that range
From intense and heavy to plain and boring,
The delicate balance within us imploring
To be expressed and relieved, shown to the world.
As boys become men, women grow from girls.
From hormones to chores, from texts to your ex,
Each day is new drama, we wonder what’s next.
No one’s quite sure, we’re all so confused.
Who’ll come out on top, and who will be used?
Relationships and love, schools and careers,
All these decisions made in just a few years.
Families, fights, fun and friends,
For us, the excitement never ends.
High school is short and four years isn’t much,
But it’s enough to make memories that leave our lives touched.
