For Hannah At Graduation

Playing softly thinking of your first day of school scary teacher but fun words Growing up too slow with long moments become a blur learning proceeds timeless Frustration social anxiety but independent understanding self awareness unique me Branding, marking, making your own way in life challenging forthright don’t always agree The arduous years of forced study ended memories linger sad happy embarrassing even Now what do I do stand tall be something for you or find the bird inside my soul and fly Time to be free experience more love more fear on my own stepping out Playing softly thinking of life and your first day as a teacher, time to use fun words again
