Dreams – Nicole Nordone

I have such big dreams, I have such big hopes. There is so much I want to do, Yet I feel so stuck.

I want to live, to travel, To learn, to experience, to love I need to live a normal life again, Yet I feel so stuck.

I sit behind a computer screen, Counting down the days to my graduation. “The best four years of your life.” And I feel so stuck.

One day it will get better, I tell myself everyday. That makes everyday a little easier, Thinking when I can feel free.

Don’t Blink – Katie Kempter

Don’t blink, they said, four years go by fast, Always make memories that you know will last. And while I knew what they said, I didn’t quite hear. Oh the things I would do to go back to freshman year.

The dances with friends, That I never thought would end. Those close games that gave me a rush, Or just walking down the hallway, excited to see my crush.

Don’t blink, they said at the beginning of freshman year, While it might not feel like it, the end is near. High school provides memories that will always be with you, Instead of holding back, attack each day and pursue.

And now I’m a senior, with nothing figured out; My mind seems full of emptiness and doubt. Unsure of who I am and who I want to be, With the changes I am about to endure, I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
