The End: A new beginning


It’s the end of senior year Time for laughter, time for cheer So many memories in these halls Teachers, students, windowless classroom walls Freshman year, just starting out I lacked confidence and was filled with doubt Digging into a deeper hole As a sophomore I lost my soul Junior year things got better I view myself as pretty clever That was when I found my place Now there’s a real smile on my face As I’m sitting here today Everybody knows I’m gay Finally happy just being myself Self-confidence is much better for my health I tried my best to make senior year last But didn’t realize it goes by so fast I’m looking forward to the bell’s last ring But this is the last time for everything Starting to cry It’s so hard to say goodbye What have you done with your four years? Did you make a difference or face your fears? High school may be almost done Now real life has just begun

I write to keep my sanity. Every time I write something new, I discover a little more about myself.
