In a city with so many people, It’s hard to be original.
But I think that not to try should make one a criminal.
I came to this school with no expectation
–I suppose that’s akin to my generation–
I’ll admit that I didn’t want to attend
A school where I had not one single friend.
From high school, I mean. The people I knew well.
But then I thought “ah, what the hell.”
It’s been fun going here. Who would have thought?
I found friends and things for which I never sought.
Like the ability to get up, start an organization.
Yes, a new tradition. All of my creation.
I’ve found friends, met a star from ‘Psych.’
And a David Tennant look-alike.
It’s been great, I’ll admit. But not always fun.
I may have failed my last calc test. But, hey, at least it’s done.
I’m actually learning in most of my classes.
And I get to tell actors to get off their asses.
I’m beginning to learn even more about me.
High school really doesn’t help anyone, see?
In there it was hard to decide who I am.
And there really was no point to half the exams.
But now I can be free
To decide what to be.
And what I want to be, I know now, is victorious.
I want to win at simply everything and I want for you to say “yes, she is glorious.”
So now I end this mandatory speech.
I hope it didn’t sound like I was trying to preach.
And as my eyes with ambition gleam,
I just hope I don’t wake up to “sheesh y’all t’was a dream.”
