The things to come

As a kid it's all good and fun 
You don’t worry about the things you've done 
You don’t worry about the things to come 
The only things you've said is I want to be a princesses or fire fighter that’s what I want to become 
 
11 or 12 and sometimes 13 you hit middle school 6 or 7th grade 
A grade where boys and girls start to interest you. 
A grade where per pressure starts to get to you 
A grade where you want to fit in and be in the clicks 
A grade that wants to prepare you for what's to come next 
 
13 or 14 you hit 8th grade 
This is a grade and age where things are much like 6th and 7th 
But the difference is you don’t feel as much like servants. 
You’re the top dogs at the school who knows all the rules. 
All the nicks and crannies that you can slip through. 
But there's only one thing that worry's you 
The next level up being high school 
 
Here comes high school 
your 14, 15 and sometimes 16  
Your hitting 9th or 10th grade 
But if where being were being honest didn’t think you'd be this afraid 
As you hit the 9th grade and a disease decides to start a parade\ 
It took away your experience how sad it made you delirious. 
That online schooling wasn't to for fulling 
But once you hit 10th grade believe me you had a good feeling 
Being in person again definitely made you feel awaken 
With the slow passed schooling 
The relaxation was Definitely fooling 
 
Here is where we are  
Here is where we made it 
11th grade but let me ask you  
How do you feel about it..
