A Chapter Ends, A Chapter Begins
My high school career shall soon
Face a never-ending red light.
Many things have happened
Forgotten memories, cherished stories
My life book will have a new
Completed chapter.
New friendships were formed.
Some, old and new, faded away
Like when light ran away to make way for night;
Except that the light always came back.
Hanging out with friends is
What I’ll miss the most.
Friends are great treasures
Of the world.
The same destination does not
Lie with us all.
My heart cries for more time,
But it agrees with my mind
That a new chapter must begin.
Such bittersweet love.
My soul prepares for life after graduation.
There’s much happiness
And excitement and curiosity and joy.
New home, new faces,
New challenges, new rewards
Exploring a new world
College, chapter x,
Is a mystery
Unexplored territory
A kind murderer
Its coming creates a wall between two lives.
I will not wrestle with time.
I will gladly walk with it.
I will also walk with my peers
Into a stadium overflowing with people.
Friends and family alike.
A chill will hang in the evening air
And bright lights will consume us
With waves of claps and cheers
Running to our ears.
There’s a victory when
Each diploma enters a pair of hands.
The sweet relief, the flood of emotions.
Yes! We’ve won the battles!
But the war of life has
Only just begun.
