Set, patiently waiting

An automatic clock

waiting as time slowly passes by

silently counting, tick tock, tick tock.    

When will the day come,

 

When I know I no longer have to return?

When I never have be this person anymore,

the memory of this person I once knew burn.

I hear sirens as the end finally draws near.

 

A bright, gleaming light flashes

All I hear is screaming,

All I can see if my past in a blur

As I grab my diploma, feels like I'm dreaming.

Is this all really happening?

 

Is the time near?

I must exit the stage and enter life

with a new sense of sight 

through it all: the pain, happiness and strife,

I begin my new life.

 

Educated,

Yet oblivious.

Graduated, 

Yet inexperienced. 

 

I will prove everyone wrong.

All of your doubt was misguided.

I will never let you phase me.

I want you to be astonished,

To realize you missed out,

And that your presence was never needed.

 

I will be awesome regardless.
