Canto Four

School colors, mascots, and college prep
You’ve got four years
They said
Four years
To get it right

Not fair, I thought
Not enough time, I insisted
Not possible, I felt
How can my childhood
Already be over, I questioned

I’m not a child
But I’m not an adult
My mind fractures
Heart breaks
I scrape through the pieces, looking for my future

Play ball, study, and be a friend
Calculate, postulate, and analyze
Read, write, listen, and speak
Do all these things
And still find time to discover who you are

In what do I find
The willpower to go on
Who places the emerald light
Upon my shaking finger
When I’m lost in fear
