As I sit here, I can't help but realize,
That my school days are ending,
My life flashing before my eyes.
School has been a part of me for so long,
And I'm afraid to grow up now that it is almost gone.
I have my future planned out ahead,
But too many decisions are racing through my head.
Where am I going?
What is there to do?
So many choices, but I can only select a few.
I'm afraid to go out into the world alone,
For everything I've ever needed has come from home.
Will they forget me?
Will they be okay?
It is going to be hard not being able to see them everyday.
I just hope they know I love them,
And I am who I am because of them.
I promise to always write,
And pray for them every waking morning,
And each dawning night.
I have always dreamt of this day that has come,
The chance to make something of myself and not be a bum.
But growing up is a hard thing to do,
Especially when you have so much to lose.
