As I soon leave

we can run fast 
run forever 
until we lose ourselves 
our spirit
but it doesn't matter 

as we sit in the grass 
and breathe in 
as the air grows sweet 
and the sod is covered in green 

and as we walk through these halls 
with these people 
that we will soon 
come to not know

we will be filled with 
everything we never wanted 
all the hope and joy 
will be left here 
with those who we once held close 

and as I leave through the same door
that gave me so much strength 
i leave a different person 

not that I've grown 
but I have changed
