Saying Goodbye

Often times in life we have to say goodbye to people, to places, to our old selves. We say goodbye a lot. So its taken me quite some time to get over HS, I know I know. I'm in college, I should be happy as hell that I've made it. But truth is I miss it, and a part of me always will. As graduation drew nearer I didn't want it to end. I wanted to stay in High School. It was my home. I felt safe and at home. I didn't want to go out in the real world. I didn't want to grow up. I didn't want to deal with change and not seeing people that I loved every day. But I'm ok now. I'm excited that I'm in college and I really like it.

                                                        Ode to High School

                               You were my friend....
                               You were my enemy...
                               You were my comfort zone...
                               You were the place I dreaded.
                               You were always there whether I liked it or not.
                               You were you.
                               You obviously aren't a person, you're a school.
                               You are my school though, and you always will be.
                               And I'll be your alumni.
