Leaving Mortimer Jordan High School ©


Never again to walk those wonderful brick halls. Only to come back years ahead As a stranger and an outsider- As a student never again. And to cherish the sweet days I had there. To remember those many memories, and remember them again. Of sweet friends, Caring teachers, And that beautiful, old campus. Of days gone by. Tears . Should I cry? I am leaving that comforting safety net I call school Where teachers care, Friends abide, And talent can spread. That beautiful school is like a shelter to me. A launching pad for the real world that lies ahead. Now I am ready And my journey begins. By: Erica Glover.

This is a poem I wrote the day after I Graduated from my high school, Mortimer Jordan 3 years ago. It was how I was mourn over not being in high school ever again and how I let my feelings out about it. Also, at the end is a glimmer of hope as I look forward to the future.
