Time Flies

My senior year has arrived so fast, 
many years of school have been left in the past. 
So now I sit here wondering why, 
I am almost a high school graduate; it makes me want to cry. 
 
I hardly remember my freshman year, 
covid snatched it away with a mischievous sneer. 
Although my education seemed so stagnant, 
the relationships I made did not become absent. 
 
Junior year came quicker than ever, 
I established strong friendships that no one could sever. 
Even though my studies were tough, 
I always pushed through no matter how rough.
 
Pretty soon I will be saying goodbye, 
as I turn my back with a heavy sigh. 
Now the calendar holds a limited supply, 
and I can only sit and watch the time fly by. 


The author's comments:

Being in high school for four years now seems crazy to me. It is hard to think about all the memories i have made and all the experiences from the past.
