Two More Years by Aspen Haase

Two more years 
Two more summers 
Two more Christmases 
Two more years 

Time is slipping 
Moments lost 
Tick tock tick tock 
Two more years 
22 more months 
96 more weeks 
673 more days 
16,140 more hours 
968,449 more minutes 
58,106,978 more seconds 

They ask what are your plans 
They ask where you want to go 
What are you going to do 
But why 
Why do I have to decide 
Why do I need to pick the one thing to do for the rest of My life 
I love acting 
I love school 
I love kids 
I love chemistry 
I love math 
I love singing 
I love writing 
I love reading 
Why do I need to pick one thing that determines the rest of my life 

I will be making my own decisions in two years 
In two years I won’t be able to run to my mommy when I scrape my knee
I won't be able to blow off work and lie down and cry 
In two years my life will need to be settled and figured out 
In two years I need to make a choice 

Two more years 
Two more summers 
Two more Christmases 
Two more years
