16 Highlighting Ceremony

This sums up my day. I'm growing up, I guess I have to get used to working a lot on my birthday.

What a way it is

To spend your 16-year anniversary

Dancing pens on pages

And pencils on tests

What a way it is

To be stared at with glassy eyes

As you float down the hallway

Trying to smile

What a way it is

To get a stack of papers

Birthday cake high

Decorated with sprinkles of, "you better pass"

What a way it is

To spend a bright day in school

Oh what a way

What a 16th birthday
