The end is near

As my last year of high school will soon be over.

I don’t know what to do now that the end is so near.

I can see the days winding down and it will soon be tomorrow.

Leaving all my friends behind fills my heart with sorrow.

The things we have done and the moments we have shared.

Starting all over makes me feel so scared

I wanted my final year to be the best one ever.

To burn in the memories so they will last forever.

I love to cheer and dance and know that I will leave them behind.

As I move on to college where my future path will be defined.

The time for such activities won’t be part of the deal.

I must focus on more mature things and keep it real.

I am anxious for the future and don’t want to be afraid.

But there are so many choices that need to be made.

I am not afraid of tomorrow and my future will be bright.

But I’ll worry about it tomorrow since I am still a senior tonight.
