End of a Great Chapter

The thud thud thud of my heart beats dreary As the thought of venturing out in the world appears more clearly My feet cross the stage and with a smile They hand me my diploma as we shake hands for a while My palms are sweaty from the thoughts that role on I walk down the stage and look for my mom We meet eyes and pause for a pose Click click the camera goes We throw our hats high, up towards the sky Then race to our parents while starting to cry You’re gonna miss this plays in the background While tears of fear of happiness roll down Dad my secure foundation Mom my drive my sister known as my best friend all combined We hug we kiss, we are soon interrupted The photographer captures a moment that was constructed Pose for the camera, hold your head high wipe the last tear falling from your eye Congratulating glances and words fill the air Class of twenty-twelve we made it here!
