It's Autumn,  

So bright and beautiful--

Adventure around every corner.

College begins. 

In High School I was perfect. 

In High School I made no mistake. 

In High School I was me. 

Now, mistake after mistake. 

Call Mom! 

Cry. 

In College I make mistakes. 

In College the world is cruel. 

In College I grew. 

Perspective. 

Peace. 

A friend appears, 

Lifts me up, 

Brings me into his arms. 

Now, support and soothing words. 

Strength. 

Cry. 

It's Autumn again, 

I have grown into a bright young woman. 

I'm prepared now. 

In High School I was perfect. 

In College I found who I really am. 

I am strong. 

Call Mom. 

I'm still your little girl, 

But now,

I'm renewed. 

I'm now learning to be perfectly, me.
