Summer Before Senior Year

It's finally here

The summer before my senior year

Colleges are mailing pamphlets

Big decisions, I've not made yet

Everything's moving so fast

I know summer won't last

Long enough for me to know where I want to go

My parents just want what's best

I have to figure out the rest

Just a small town girl

Waiting to see a little more of the world

So many interested, so many choices

I sit alone and listen to the voices

in my head, waiting for the fog to clear

I've been waiting for this year

for so long, to be who I need to be

I look back trying to see

The girl I used to be

She's still there, but now she knows

She can take the world on her own.

ummm.....it is a vase this time! but it isnt a regular vase, you have decorated it with the sweetest images expressions and emotions!you have more confidence in yourself here, it appears in the meanings as well as the rhyme...
i just wonder how can you collect all.....
design, images and rhyme?
great writing really

I looove the light tone of this poem and the bursting positivity. A lot would really relate to this. Great job. :)
