When I left home
A short five months ago
I had my priorities set
And was not prepared to roam
College was what I had prepared for
Before I knew the alphabet could rule my life
It is still hard to believe,
But we are approaching an end of a journey
That we have walked on
"Valedictorian"
The word sings in the ear
Pierces the senses
Calms the soul
Stokes the fire
Gives a warm hug
Throws me to the ground
Am I proud?
Thank you.
I honestly don’t know how to put it any other way but
Thank you.
Thank you teachers for choosing this career path.
Thank you for dealing with
yeah, teach, i’m aware i have glasses. i’m
also aware of what they mean to you – quiet,
shy, high honor roll. it’s not because i can’t see
three feet in front of me that i’m in the
first row.
