The end of high school (6/15/11)

High school
       seems to have gone by in such a blur;
       where did those three years go?
One moment,
       you're having a blast with your friends
       cheering at your first football game.
The next,
       you're walking across a stage to the sound
       of your future calling your name.
You think
       your parents know nothing, yet you
       depend on their caretaking abilities.
High school
       is the last four years of a true childhood,
       so why not take a few chances?
Live it
       up while you can.
You only
       have one life to live...and this is no rehearsal.
