Arduousness of Life

This is a poem about the ending of high school and the beginning of college, the beginning of life.

Senior year as come and gone

It didn't seem like very long

I was just in 9th grade, starting out

Now I am a senior, preparing for college

For life and the struggles it harbors

I thought senior year was trouble

I went through all year what a struggle

Working my butt off to get where I am

Not wanting to take a fifth year

Now it's time for no more slacking

Getting up in the morning isn't lacking

Following the pursuits as a writer

Going to college, getting my degree

Getting a life, meeting new people

Losing people who went a lot to me

But that is the arduousness of life

It flashes by like light with such a strife

Finding the right career

Worrying about whether success will come

All of the strenuousness of a life well lived
