Figuring It All Out MAG
In high school, we walk around,
Life’s ups and downs, our stomping ground.
Lockers loaded with dreams and fears,
Laughs and cries, through the years.
Classes pass by, like a dance,
Figuring life out, taking our chance.
Teachers help us find our way,
Through lessons learned day by day.
Friends keep us steady, through thick and thin,
Sharing everything, a bond within.
Friday nights, under stadium lights,
Weekend adventures, reaching new heights.
Crushes come, hearts skip a beat,
Nervous smiles, awkwardly sweet.
Love’s a puzzle we try to solve,
Learning lessons as we evolve.
But beneath it all, worries loom,
Trying to find ourselves in this room.
Pressure slowly builds, expectations rise,
As we search for the truth in disguise.
Yet in the chaos, there’s beauty bright,
In simple moments, day or night.
In setbacks, lessons to be learned,
In challenges faced, bridges burned.
So here’s to high school, living wild and free,
A time to grow, to just be.
Though fleeting, these years, we adore,
As we step into the world, wanting more.
