Stages of My Ambitious Life

As an infant, I would never know
about the the things life would lead me to go.
At age five, I start my innocent life
but still don’t know my ambitions nor my strife. 

From ten to fifteen, I want to change the world,
so I wait for my chance to be unfurled.
From sixteen to seventeen, 
I wait for the end of being a teen.

Now at eighteen, I begin adulthood.
Now my ambitious life will be twice as good.
I await for my journey to start,
as graduation will someday be a work of art.

I don’t know what tomorrow would bring,
but I know I can accomplish anything.
As I walk down the stage on the 19th of May,
I will see how my remaining life will play.

I see you must have already graduated!! You posted this in 2016. Are you in your 20's now? it's good to see a young person here writing. Wish you a great future. At my age, you seem SO young (my grand daughter is here at Soup if you want to visit Natalyn Hobbs - only age 14)
