Cap and Gown

Location

You're ready, you're set, but you just don't go.

What if you really don't know?            (Why?)

You're diving into a pool of nothing.

You're hoping that when you land it becomes something.

     You cant pick or choose,

     Your dreams ran off loose.

And right when you realize it, you're not a child anymore.

You're faced with reality.

We've all been running to this finish line, 

that we all don't want to find.

The world ahead of us is scaring our minds.

I've tried to forget many times, but reality is here to take us on a ride.

You can't run, you can't hide.

    Don't you wish you could bring back time?
