Goodbye
My parents come home from work
They have something to tell us

WE ARE MOVING!

How could they do this to me?
This isn’t fair
Everything is going to change
This is going to be my last year
The last time I can see my friends everyday
I will have to start over

Now I have to tell my friends
How are they going to react?
How will I tell them?
But I have to tell them

I wait until chorus
Everyone’s around then

Looking around I see the wonderful place that I am about to leave
In just 5 short months
The eyes of the friends I’ve made
The voices of the teachers that expanded my mind
The memories that are imprinted into the hearts of others
The steps I’ve taken
My life....
GONE

I break into tears
like a dam bursting after a long time
Everyone stares
     Rousell1

I can’t hold the words any longer
“I’M MOVING TO MICHIGAN!!!!”
The room goes silent
Every soul still
Some don’t care
Others have small, delicate tears rolling down their faces
The room starts to fill back up with voices
Friends come over to tell me
“Dont leave.”
And give me hugs full of love and sadness

The news spread like wild fire
Everyone coming up to me saying,
“Are you moving?”
Over and over I answer the question with my
Head down
Fiddling with my fingers
Trying not to make eye contact
Or else the emotions will take over me
“Yes”
The letters seem to mush together into just a blob

Throughout the next 5 months I tried to make the most out of my life
Spending time with friends
Making memories I will never forget

The move was extremely difficult
Making new friends
Building new relationships
Learning the way around a new place
Everything has changed
But maybe not for the worst
