About me leaving High School and how it was sad to see myself and others leave. We were there for five years. And now, it was the time to leave. Last month it marked a year since I left. And a lot has changed. A lot.

Goodbye high school.
After 5 years you had stayed with us.
And today, we have left you.
The first days of high school
were so interesting.
We had the chance to reveal our reality to many new faces which came out of the blue.
We had the audacity to make new friends like I did.
It was a new story.
But now, this story has ended after 5 years of a journey towards maturity.
Our olden days have died but leaving behind
A bunch of memories.
But a new story shall begin.
After ending the primary and high school stories, now we have come to our college story.
Meeting new faces and forgetting the old ones.
Making more friends and forgetting the painful horns which haunted you. The times when you were ignored and hated. All gone.
Before we left today, girls were crying.
Tears of their eyes told us that some hearts are soft.
Emotional talks being told to us by the head teacher. Trying to get our high school love out in front of us.
Those teachers who have put their socks on for us have helped us in many ways to pass our success in the future. Will be a miss and true.
Just now I remember when I wrote my very first poem called sunset.
It told many about the skies of colour which remind us the high school days.
“Every day, every year, the sun will remind me the high school days.
Because every student is represented in the sun’s rays.
There souls are in the sky.
That when you remember them, you’ll cry”.
Yes, this is so very true.
Yes, I really will miss this story.
Even in year’s time,
I won’t be able to resist
this sad, remembering mood.

    I taught for seven years, and never heard the phrase “put their socks on for us.” Is that kind of like: “went to bat for us”?
    Great poem!
    So you are in your college years now. Live each of these days to the fullest – this is when you will become you who are! You are developing your world view and your philosophy of life. Now is the time to think hard about what values and ethics you were taught as a child, and make the decisions about what is true and what was false. Don’t make any hasty decisions, and don’t join any cults! Time to stop blaming your parents! They shaped your childhood, but now it is time to take responsibility for your own choices. Take advantages of opportunities that will be much more difficult once you have adult responsibilites. And have fun (but not by getting drunk or high)!
    Can you tell that I am a mom and a former high school teacher?

    I’m leaving high school and graduating this year. I only have three Mondays left. It’s kind of depressing to let it all go, but as you say in this poem, “a new story shall begin” and I know that I have a lot to look forward to. Amazing poem.
