Crestfallen

Yesterday's studying lies in await. Glancing over my notes revealed decisions were made on a certain date. Feeling helpless caused me to realize that no matter what I do, I could not change things for the moment. Today was the appearance. It was too late. These past several months led me into a battle of words causing my participation in literary fighting. The decision was expected. So, the shocking words did not hit me like a bolt of lightning. Although it was tough, I faced all my foes like a soldier. Demeanor hard as a rock, still as a statue, and strong as a boulder. No longer a little child. No one for me to trust to even cry on their shoulder. I guess those are a few examples of maturity and getting older. The unanimous decision was unconsciously expected, leaving my attitude solemn. However, upon exiting the building my whole world fell apart, leaving me crestfallen.
