Never The Same
By Anthony E
Freshman year, didn’t have a care
Played for the love of the game
Now I look back to a time I can’t get back
It will never be the same
Under scrutiny I had my opportunity
But I chose not to put in the work
I didn’t get far–I missed the bar
Feel like an underachieving jerk
There is no rewind that I can find
A Yearbook that shows what could have been
And I learned that I got burned
By little effort and much chagrin
I still dote, while I sit with the remote
Watching others put it all into the game
I sat out the dance and missed my chance
I bailed-I failed and it will never be the same
