"It's the adventure of a life-time;" That's what the leader of the group tells you,
The brochure states life-long friendships,
Tall-tales and never ending lessons.
The first moment is confusion and fast words,
Long lectures, laying down the rules, location of the loo,
Fast pace, explanations, exclamations and apologizies too,
Then the day begins.
It's scary, no one told you that,
When you go in you have to go in feet first,
Or you learn the last and that's the worst,
Last picked, last chosen, last one to eat as well.
Some pick up quickly and move along quick,
You stay mainstream and watch for the clues,
Are they coming? Are they going? Is this wrong?
Eventually we find the groove and move with the music,
Knowing where to to be when we're needed and so forth,
The end of the trail becomes nearer and a chill falls over the crowd,
The end of the road is almost here and who knows what it means.
The brochure never mentioned how hard it would be,
To realize how many friends we did make, and the lessons we did learn,
The guide never did mention how much pain we would go through,
To learn the awful truth, and to be the person we want to be.
The worst of all, the brute of the words hit me soon after,
When I realized that I'd be leaving you behind after we said goodbye,
Because I would not only be saying goodbye to you,
But I would be saying goodbye to the person I used to be.
like they say owes go in feet first never head first, life can be tricky i bin up and down the hills a lot and yes i hit every bump in the road don't miss any of them. one thing i lean in life there is no map but there is a lot of forks in the road you just got to pick the right path and give it all. but two thing you don't for get that is your friends and just be your self
