of a milestone that is just beyond words.
it has been almost a year
since i set out on a journey,
walking through places
i've never set foot on.
my pace is slow,
careful of every step;
not wanting to get lost
in the world unknown.
i trudge alone along the path
shivery, as i try to be calm.
strangely, warmth sets in
and i feel myself let go.
i've lost some friends,
but then i've gained more
i've made mistakes,
but then i learned a whole lot
i've been hurt by others,
but then i've touched people
i've had my heart broken,
but then i've had it smile bigger
i've tripped and bruised
but then i've pulled myself higher,
higher than i've ever been.
i've put countless
memories, lessons, smiles,
heartaches and frustrations
in my pocket;
my pocket overflows.
everything is love--
love is kept in my heart.
ten months have passed; my adventure's nearly over.
no matter how meaningful it has been,
i am not anxious; rather, i feel much contentment.
for at every end, lies a new beginning.
it has been an amazing schoolyear. i could tell you that much. thank you Junior-B, thank you everybody.♥
