The start of the unparalleled journey
Is drawing to a close
Whereby different experiences
Are carried with enthusiasm not to be paused
Emerging unbelievably fast
From the scourges of our youth
Where Classmates and friends
Always ready to comfort and sooth
The years of tell-tale
Have seemingly gone-by
Discovering and forging,
The characters we have to fly high
The momentous moment
Is now ready for us to seize
With everyone longing
The journey not to be freeze
However the inherent truth
Is hard to discern
That we are all involved
In this process of concern
Not just on our family and friends
But mainly for ourselves
This journey will soon come to an end
Where we will be required to bend
Still, our spirits lives on
Thanks to this academe
That somehow they’ve serve
As a training ground to our dreams
And in this drastic times,
When we’re released into the open water
Exploring, trying and enduring
Life’s most ambitious offers
We should find ourselves
Taking different paths
Not taking for granted
If we’re successful or not
However we are the makers
of our own destiny
Which will be further decided,
By our unparalleled journeys…
