I Vaguely Remember . . .

I vaguely remember I time where it was better,

A time I could use to slumber,

Grades, Classes, GPA all of it now seems to matter more,

Do this they say, don't forget to sign that, "When did my life become such a bore?",

If your grade in Calculus goes from an "A" to a "B" it better not stay that way,

Remember colleges reserve the right to withdraw their admittance and that will stay,

 

I vaguely remember a time where I wasn't given a cold shoulder,

I've encountered a social boulder, 

After these colleges I am pining,

And soon to myself I started lying, 

I've withdrawn from my friends,

Because I know after high school "these friendships will end",

 

I vaguely remember a time without stress,

It's like I'm in a voluntary house arrest,

I'm trapped in a design of my own making a "prison",

And since the start of the year my blood pressure has risen,

But don't forget this is all your fault,

It's the price of becoming an adult.
