I see my scrawny visage on an old glass
'With all my missing works, can I still pass?'
They say its so vivacious to be a college student
Yet keep smiles on lest be labeled prudent
Welcome to college! Where all diamonds shine,
And those unpolished potential remain obscured by the divine
A contemporary Guernica, so cast your weapon fast
Step out of your convenience, else you'll come last
Knowledge is power but crave for nothing vain
For to be drowning in glory makes one insane
Be no marionette of your own fear
For the weak is not meant to thrive here
Welcome to college! The home of the great
Where both hardship and satisfaction await
And athough sweat, blood and tears flow
In the end you'll bloom and grow
There'll be juries of keen, descrying eyes
There'll be hearts of stones and ice
But as you go I hope you unfold
Like I did-- these hearts of gold
