Poem-Sonnet

I found this, and I wrote it at the end of 8th grade (it was an assignment) but it turned out pretty good, so I figure I'll post it.  It's a sonnet, so its really strictly formed, which means I couldn't write it the way I wanted, but it's pretty good.

A Song Of The Past
Waking up to this year, my heart pounding
Wishing, waiting, hoping, dreaming, this year
The last one in this school, I cried a tear
Throughout this year, the music astounding

I sit in my chair, the drums resounding
Music holds my life, a boat holds the pier
The sound of the song leaves me with no fear
A clarinet sings, a trumpet sounding

Music, thing of the past, a time gone by
Yet memories lay here as bright as now
The music continues, a song, I sigh
Try to push reminders away, yet somehow
A simple song behind my head, I cry
Say goodbye to the past, hello to now
