At the end of this year, my school (which has been open for 90 years) will be closed due to lack of funding and low enrollment. The students will be split up. The members of my class have formed a deep friendship, and it's going to be hard to say goodbye...

Time has past, and way too fast
We will soon be parted
Because of lack of student funds
We’ll all be broken-hearted

We’ve been together all our lives
From kindergarten to 10th
Although we had our share of fights
It was time well spent

But change has come to our small town
And because of some old loon
Our school will now be closing
We’ll be leaving… all too soon

I looked forward to graduating
Wearing our robes of maroon
But our class is scattered now
Parted all too soon

We must all adjust to change
We must adapt to survive
But we will still have our friendship
Something that no one can hide

We will go our separate ways
Like ashes to the wind
But someday, we will settle down
To where we belong again

Until we meet again, my friends
I’ll think of you each day
I hope you understand me now
There’s nothing more to say




False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the diffrence.

  This is so sad...I couldn't imagine losing the chance to graduate with all my friends...Good luck in the school you're placed in...I loved the poem, it shows real feelings...

This is really sad my friend....I couldn't imagine being separated from those I care about.  Good luck with the new school and I hope things work out for the best!

LoveBug~~~That is so sad...When I graduated I hated it thinking I wasnt gonna see my friends anymore...But leaving in the middle of the school year has to be worse...I left my one h.s. in the middle of my sophmore year and I cried cuz I wasnt gonna see all the good friends I made...But then things changed I made some new friends...I wish you the best with your new school...

You've expressed the sadness and emotion within this nicely Erica ... it's difficult to be uprooted and change pace, but you've got a great attitude. A very positive feel, and message here, very nicely penned!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

I thought this poem was sad. Oh well....good job!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

sad but good

Chosen to live a joyful life,
Blessed with a huge heart,
Day to day I live the life,
Live the life brought to me,
So much unshared love yet to giv

I know how you feel, I have been split from my friends a few times because of boundary changes and it totally sucks and is so unbelievably hard and sad. I know it is hard, but you'll also make new friends. Now if you're like me, your initial reaction was "But I liek the ones I have" you'll meet new people and learn even more stuff. I know its hard but I'm here if you ever need to talk. Just keep your head up and look towards the positive aspects of it.
Best of luck my dear

"We must all adjust to change
We must adapt to survive"

Make sure you do that..sad poem but like what Kit said..keep the positive attitude..nice poem... hope your move, and the changes you'll endure won't be too hard..

And forcing our darkest souls to unfold...
And pushing us into self-destruction...."
