So much depends upon
Trying to fit in.
Although it may be hard,
It will have to begin.

I may never know ,
What's in store for me.
What's going to happen?
We'll just have to see.

Life always changes,
So do not forget
What it's all about,
When you're upset

I don't know how it happened,
I guess it was meant to be.
Hopefully, we'll get another chance,
But why did it happen to me?

The author's comments:
We were working on the William Carlos William poem "So much depends upon" in class. About couple weeks after the lesson, I was thinking about it while I was doing the dishes. I knew I was going to forget it, so I wrote it down and started rhyming after jotting some of it down.
