A Fool's Advice

These four years are very complicated
yet we cannot escape them for we are mated
so just hop on board and join the ride
just remember that when lost the answers are inside

You will have friends and you will have foes
don't worry that is just the way it goes
but no matter what happens treat people with respect
remember to forgive quickly and be tentative to reject

You will be tested on your personal character
it will be hard and sometimes seem unfair
but in tough times just remember who you are
and trust me my friends that you will go far

You will have stress if balancing a sport, school, maybe even band
at times it will seem that it is more than you can stand
but remember that you are surrounded by people that care
and will help you and make sure that you get there

You will have an easier time if you write out your goal
at first it might just seem like a bunch of bull
but if you know what achievement you are striving for
you are more likely to achieve and maybe even more

You will be tempted to change so that you can fit in
but let me tell you if you do that you will not win
so stay yourself and you will find a true friend
and no matter what happens you will win in the end

You should not think that these years are so bad
for there are many great moments waiting to be had
these are some of the happiest and best times of our lives
just take the advice given for it is how one survives

You do not have to listen to what I have to say
for I am more than sure you will find your own way
but at least listen to this: I might be fool
but guess what? I finished high school
