Graduation Thoughts (At This Moment)

Written for my 8th grade graduation as a candidate for being picked to be said at my the graduation, but some other poem I wrote got picked. This one's okay, not the best, but at that time I hit a Writer's Block, so it isn't my best... but I'm proud.

at this moment,

i am scared to death.

i want to leave,

but i want to stay.

perhaps my dreams are too good to be true.

today is graduation day:

the day for me to leave,

the day for memories to stay,

within my heart,

forever.

 

at this moment,

i feel so cold.

this day has come,

but i am ready to leave

the school i love.

i am ready.

i am really strong.

but this day,

at this moment.

i don’t really know anymore.

am i strong enough?

 

what about all my friends?

what about my teachers?

i’ve been telling myself all year,

that i’m ready to leave.

but that all changed

when i stepped up

onto this stage

and realized

that I’m not really ready.

 

just as i knew,

just as i felt before,

i knew this would be painful.

i don’t want to leave,

but everyone wishes me the best.

the world is opening up for me,

welcoming me with open arms,

with all kinds of opportunities.

and i am ready

to take on the challenges

at this moment
