In the Fall
Colorful leaves, stunning backdrop
 Eerie symphony of emotion
 Caressing breeze floats on, a gentle push
 Time of change, transitions
 People, time, and space
 
 Friends, both old and new
 Locked together through simple proximity
 School’s back in, another year to endure
 Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior 
 Yet another rung on the ladder
 A new beginning or perhaps an end
 
 Freshman, it’s never as bad as it seems
 Sophomore, at last you’re comfortable here
 Junior, you’re almost there, just hang on
 Senior, here you stand, you’re almost done – your future soon awaits
 
 Winter comes quickly
 Already a quarter way done
 Grip on tightly to your destiny
 The year will be passed before you know it

Very good. There's a lot of relatability in it. I liked the "at least you're comfortable here" part. It made me think of my sophomore year, since that was the first year in my life that I actually had friends and I really was just what you said-comfortable in my school. Sure, I didn't love my school, but I didn't wake up dreading the day there like I did freshman year.
In short, it's a great poem. I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work!
