Yet somehow I could sense a growing kind of thing evolving out ofloneliness and pain and hurt. Painfully beautiful- Life is so ugly and so beautiful Memories fading in and out feelings all compounded inside me. I feel so free, so very much alive, so full ofhope - no hard set goals, just a lot ofhope. fire and rain - but I always thought that l'd see you againf' the road is long - I know not where it will lead me but I want to follow it. It's hard to grow up - but it's beautiful it's so ugly and so beautiful so painfully beautiful and so real - I'm me and sometimes I wouldn't trade being me for anything or anybody in the whole world,

But it isn't always fun and being happy. Sometimes it's a very lonely world. l sit here alone - there are others here but my thoughts are mine alone. No one knows my fears, my problems, my aspirations, - no one but me. llong for home - I sit for to go to sleep this troubled night in my own bed in my room in my house with my parents' room near and fond mem ories of family keeping watch over me - longing for the familarity ofa life so secure and sure. But such is not to be found. alone here - crying in the night, afraid oftomorrowg my mind is spinning.

So now it's all over - Graduation has come and gone. The addresses have been deliveredg the degree? have been conferredg the graduates have been congratulated We've said our final good-byes And gone our separate ways, And now everyone is gone and it's all over. Campus is deserted. We look back and we smile - remembering the good times, remembering the bad times. We can't forget these two years here - we laughed too hard, we cried too often, we hurt too much, we gave too freely, we loved too deeply, So wejust file it in the files ofour lives under L for living.
