I left all excited and I came home all sad,
Some people there made me happy but most made me mad.

For some reason I thought the people there actually would care,
Now I'm kind of glad that this was my last year there.

Even though all always remember all the awsome people I met,
And all the experiences I went through that I'll never forget.

The whole week I was there all I could think about was my friends,
But as I sat on the railing the last night I didn't want camp to end.

I actually got so sad I started to cry,
And as I walked to the car the next morning a part of me died.

No one who knows me will ever be able to see,
How much all those weeks I spent at camp over the last six summers really changed me.

It's never easy, having to face the end of something that has been a part of your life for so long. You express yourself very well with this piece. Thanks for sharing.

You expressed yourself very well. I went to camp once..hated it. Never went back. HaHa. But I'm sorry you will miss it. I enjoyed the read.

I know how it feels to leave a bunch of friends like you do in camp....more than 6 times.....let's just say I moved a lot throughout my life.
Well done on the poem......I enjoyed this one.

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

This is awesome, Lauren! I really enjoyed this... I know exactly what you're talking about. I go to a WorkCamp every summer, and I wish it was more than just one week. The people are awesome, and the environment is just so... safe. I liked this poem a lot. Hope to see more soon.
