Bittersweet

I always said that it’d be the best day when I leave this school

But I’m not so sure now.

Sure, it wasn’t always easy,

But I gained so much good:

The best teacher I’ve ever had.

The confidence I always needed.

The friends I’ve always wished for.

The hope I’d always had.

And the memories that will never leave me.

  • Jester

    I will be the court jester

    But when you remind me of my past

    My lungs refuse to laugh

    Now I fall quiet

    A sad smile dances on my lips

    As I glance at you with pain in my eyes

  • happiness

    Rain.

    Laughter.

    Smiles.

    Swimsuits and twister.

    Getting soaked just for fun.

    This is girlhood.

    This is happiness.

    This is freedom.
