Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
September was my last first day of high school
At the bus stop
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
October was senior pictures
And of course I got the gaps in my teeth photoshopped
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
November was my last “thankfulness” as a high schooler
Because I was so eager to get the hell out of this “little girl” spot
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
December we commemorate a savior,who was born to this world and died for my sin
And in heaven
He secured for me a spot
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
January 2016 was my year
I turned 18
And the class of 2016
We almost out of here
and heading for nothing but the the top
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
February all the college acceptance letters were piling up to the top
And it was almost time for me to figure out
What is my next stop?
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
March senioritis was really kicking in
We were almost to finish line
But at the same time
There was 4 more months to go
So, we were really not
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
April ugh I'm still in high school
Please, Jesus let this time go fast
So, I can't get the hell out of this spot
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
May Senior Retreat got me crying nonstop
With all this reflecting and sharing with my peers
and showed me the truth
That I wanted the clock to stop
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
June the time arrived
That my time in high school has come to a stop
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
July It never really kicked in
That it’s almost time for me to head to my next stop
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
August I head off to college
My next stop
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
I look back at how fast high school went
And wish I could go back
to tell the clock to stop
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
October I got the hang of this college thing
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
I went to my church Thanksgiving retreat
A whole new person and not the same
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
December we commemorate a savior,who was born to this world and died for my sin
And in heaven
He secured for me a spot
Tick Tock
Tick Tock
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
5...4...3...2..1
Happy New Year!
Tick Tock
Round goes the clock
January 2017
I turned 19
And now belong to college scene
But it finally hit me
That I don't want to rush this time
Because one day I’ll look back at this spot in life
And wish that I embraced every moment, minute, and second granted to me
If only the clocked had stopped...
