My Mountain
Devin Loke
Oh, the Places I've Been!
August 11th was the day.
I was off to Great Places!
I was off to UGA!
I had brains in my head.
I had feet in my shoes.
I could steer myself
any direction I choose.
I was on my own. And I could finally show
that I was able to decide where I go.
It started with rush, I treated every sorority fair.
About some I said, "I don't choose to go there."
With my head full of brains and my shoes full of feet,
I knew that my sorority was too good to beat!
Then I started class, I was full of fear.
I was afraid how I got accepted would become unclear.
But it turns out my teachers weren't so scary,
There was absolutely no reason to be wary!
College has presented many different choices.
It's hard to keep up with several different voices!
But I have tried to my hardest to stay true,
Because here, no one watches out for you except you.
I'll get mixed up, of course,
as you already know.
I'll get mixed up
with many strange choices as I go.
I'll be sure as I step
to step with care so I don't crack,
and I have to remember that college
is a great balancing act.
I have to keep all of my priorities in order
and never stray from my own borders.
And will I succeed?
Yes! I will, indeed!
(80 percent guaranteed)
I WILL MOVE MOUNTAINS!
So...
whether I'm sad and blue
or can't seem to find which me is true,
I'm in this Great Place!
Everyday is my day!
My mountain is waiting,
my mountain is UGA!
