We're at that point
The point of no return
I'm sitting with my friends
Ready to let go
Our hands are clasped
As we wait for the cue
To throw up our caps and start anew
But wait!
What about life after?
What about the friends I've made?
Is anyone else afraid?
What about those teachers I've grown to know?
Is anyone else not ready to leave home?
What about the four years I put into all of this?
Is it all going to fall into the abyss?
Now I'm worried
Worried about how I'll move forward
Worried about how I'll succeed
Worried if I'll succeed
Worried about my worrying
Now I'm worried
Stop!
Maybe I don't have to let go
Maybe I can keep holding on
Maybe I can follow my friend
Maybe I can... breathe
Maybe I should just
Stop!
The adults in my life make a good point
I'll always remember the experiences I've had
The people that I've encountered
The places that I've been
The memories are just a page away
Neatly tucked in a few books that will catch dust
From that scared freshman
To this confident senior
I've grown in so many ways
I've achieved so much
Maybe I'm ready to let go
So goodbye to my friends
To my teachers
To my classmates
Goodbye to those that have helped me
To the long nights
To the early mornings
Goodbye and good riddance!
Each one of you shaped me
Each one of you made me who I am
Each one of you helped me piece together my future
I'm ready to move on
I'm ready to see what the world has to offer
I'm ready for the unpredictability of life
I'm ready
I'm ready to let go
