Cap on, tassel left,
o r w a s i t r i g h t ?
BRIGHT lights
surrounded by people
people I claim to know
but do I really?
people I grew up with
but do they know?
rushed in a line
through
a whirl
wind of
papers
that SUM up the last FOUR years of life
supposedly
I smile
SCREAM
CLAP
hug
and shout
excited its over
but UNSURE of whats up ahead
my HANDS shake
head pounds
as I walk through my door
a graduate
REALLY? me?
I party all night,
first one without a curfew
my f e e t ache to move
dance
to the rhythm of
my NEW life
my mind e x p a n d s
reeling with ideas
of a chance to start over
with no past to hold me back
to become solid
real
a fact
instead of a shadow
a myth
to finally glue myself
back together
almost
to become the people
I've always admired
to take MY chance
and change the world
starting with ME.
