Thanks to Them

Let me express my gratitude through this poem

The stage is set, the lights are on, and here I go.
For the last time this year I wear my uniform.
It’s something I hated and treasured long ago
And now I’m off to let it go on this platform.

 How fast time passes by, all memories piled up.
Many people showed up then they just disappeared,
Evaporating like water inside a cup
Until all that’s left are the ones who are sincere.

 I say farewell to my teachers whom I salute.
They tried their best to steer me to the proper route.
I will always thank them for that in my whole life.
They are my heroes even in the afterlife.

I must admit I hate that those numerous books.
They always seemed to kill me with those icy looks.
But thanks to those books I clearly saw my dream world.
It honed my mind to fight with the wits of the world.

To all of my friends, I will never forget you.
You were always the ones who finished up my food.
I don’t even know how I ended up with you
But thanks to you I think I’ll survive adulthood.

I thank God and my parents for this experience.
If it weren’t for them I wouldn’t meet this place
I grew up here and sometimes I dread each moment
For me to go and have my own accomplishment.

School is finally done and I’d learned my lessons.

Now off I go to greet new opportunities.

But I will always remember those quotations

Because they’re my armor against calamities.

I am thanking you from the bottom of my heart.

You just made me who I am from the very start.

Now I can fully understand life's every art.

Now I am off to find the place where I will start.

I really loved it~ ^_^
Specially since I'm nearing my final year and I'm indeed going to miss all of these so I can completely relate to this pretty poem of yours :D
"To all of my friends, I will never forget you.
You were always the ones who finished up my food."
These lines brought a stupid smile on my face because it always happens to me *giggles*
Thanks to you, I'll portray my student life beautifully, a gorgeous feeling of nostalgia~
Keep writing :3

Well, certainly still good though a forced write always seems to lack the right mood especially when out of it... very strong gratitudes and congrats on passing, it's quite touching ;)

The school poetry. It is a nice poem. I look back 35 years and I know best years of life was in school. Good friends and laughter was always close by. I like the description of a time and the people you will miss. Thank you for the excellent poem.

i think its really nice. You can tell its somewhat forced, but it flows well, and their are deep emotions, When your forced to write a poem you cant really do much about the lack of depth, but you dug way deeper then I could have. Excellent.
