You told me I'd be safe,

You told me I'd be free,

You said to take your hand and come with me.

I listened,

I swallowed,

I was filled with fear

Not knowing of the future that was near.

I followed as you said,

So far from the dead,

A new life

is approaching,

With no time to stop ahead.

I went with the current,

and it lead me here,

To a university filled with tears,

Parents, Students, and teachers crying,

Isn't this a time we are supposed to be flying?

Flying to new goals,

Meeting new souls.

This is a new life,

A new life called College.
