Memories of the past |
Standing, waiting, watching, hoping. Maybe they forgot about me Maybe I do not have to go If they did, I would have missed out Met my best friends that day Brennan and Joel were my cubby buddies. Jumping, laughing, giggling, waiting. Do not forget me I want to go Sat with Joel until we parted Met one more best friend Trent and myself always in trouble “Sorry Ms. Herrick, we didn’t mean to.” Trace announcing Ms. Herrick is not Ms. Herrick anymore She is now Mrs. Howell Petrified, scared, horrified, nervous. Oh please forget me I do not want to go She’s a bully A bully that turned into my best friend Shelby and I catching Brennen The wind blew him away every day Bubbly, happy, fizzy, cheery. Do not leave me behind I have to go Zane is waiting for me. I cannot disappoint him Magic awaits us on the carriage. I need to save him from Kelsey Vetter Anxious, nervous, shy, overwhelmed. Do not forget my house I am reluctant to leave Glad I did though Luis fell out of his desk I told him to, but I saved him Missing those days with him Cheerful, Enthusiastic, Eager, Fun. If I am forgotten, I will be upset. I really would enjoy going People are waiting for me to get off I am the flower girl Emma and Michael are having their wedding. Underneath the jungle gym during recess. Unwilling, dreading, hating, regretting. Forget me please I do not want to get up Katelyn always gets in trouble for Katie and me talking It is always her fault. Ha! Mrs. Frazier shows us how to dance to “Change, Change” Tired, reluctant, sleepy, slow. Forget me. Just forget me. “Mom I do not feel well. Do I have to go?” Pull my hair back into a slick ponytail Sweat pants and large t-shirts are my best friend Alex always flirts with me and makes me giggle like a school girl Secret crushes that are never spoken, until it is too late He moves away, leaving me all alone. Blank, empty, nothingness, alone. I am forgotten I go, but I go miserably I miss him, but it goes unspoken No one knows how alone I truly am I am close with my friends But even they do not see the black hole I kept hidden That I still keep hidden Angry, hostile, sad, happy. So many emotions this year Do not know whether I want to go or not Katie, my best friend, betrayed me I found my current best friend Aliccia She has made a huge impact in my life But volleyball brought me back to life Volleyball became my everything. Happy, joy, cheery, bubbly. I do not have to worry about being forgotten I am in charge of getting myself there now Jordan waits for me every morning and after school Dandelion fights every day during track practices. Some people thought we had a thing Always was my best guy friend, nothing more. Sleepy, happy, excited, restless. Katelyn made sure I was up every morning Katelyn made sure I was at school every day too “Porque!!!!” brought a new addition to my friends AJ left her EMO days behind and became a part of my world She made herself a somebody, instead of a nobody I have never been more proud of her She is doing it, she is making a life for herself And I wish her the best of luck. Remembering, missing, regretting, loving. Sitting in a chair, reminiscing about the past The ups and downs, the potholes in the road All shaped us into the people we are today The past stays in the past, but it is nice to remember Remembering the time the biggest worry was coloring outside the lines Now it is getting into college Knowing that I am trading being a Rebel To become a Spartan I am starting a new phase in my life One full of new memories, new friends, new teammates But I will always have the memories I am leaving behind Memories that will stay with me forever And so I bid ado to my classmates Thank you for the memories |
