Uncertain Future

The nerves I feel, new to me
What to expect? The unknown.
But, also the excitement
“I'm getting older, smarter”
The first step to the twelve-year journey
School…
Now nearing the end of school
Wondering what life may bring
In search of treasure only few…
Will ever find, a philosophy,
Happiness, pleasure some may call it
I call it understanding. I am, you are…
An individual, on a similar journey.
A struggle, “a pleasure trip”
Life.
