Poem - Senior

How does life move on this way?
   Yesterday seemed like just seconds ago.
Years have only been days.
    Now I look back at it all.

To think back, that was me just a few years past.
   Lost and in a whole new place.
Now to look around and to not see familiar faces
   To mistake people in a crowd, to remember they are gone.

To look down on the years gone past.
   This is my closing year.
How did I make it this far without a doubt?
    Now I fear life after all of this.

Decisions cloud my mind
    What is next for my life?
I can't choose all my dreams
    Where do I go from here?

This is it, the end.
    I will sail off into the world.
My decisions will be up to me.
    Why is this is the beginning.
