Our Ending is Bittersweet (a graduation sonnet with my friend Celia)

Our ending is bittersweet

Our past set in stone but our futures untold

A doctor, architect or athlete

We have yet to know what our older life will hold

 

Piece by piece we make an impact

Unique but one

Our dreams of helping are no longer so abstract

We don’t stop working until we were done
 

Our memories here are like little pieces of gold

Smiles and laughter from past years of school

The bricks to our future before it unfolds

Filled with kind teachers and happy dog drool

 

This joy can only be shared with a few

And is carried on through journeys anew

  • Today

    Today I've walked around school in a haze

    I don't know what to do 

    How to feel 

    I don't understand

    How he won again

    I don't think I want to understand

  • Halloween

    I miss Halloween

    Not because it changed

    But I did

    I miss going with my parents and my brother

    And stuffing my face with candy

    I miss meticulously planning out a costume

  • The Season of Death

    Death reaches his hands

    Shrivels leaves

    Rips them up

    Soon the ghosts and ghouls will scream

    They've waited all year for Halloween

     But this death is not a scary thought

    In fact it's comforting
