I Just Want My Life Back

Dedicated to everyone at Freedom Middle School 06-07 I love you guys with all my heart The hallways are full of laughter, The friends are full of love The good friends are playful, Giving each other a little shove. The classes were a bit of a challenge, The tests more of a breeze Studying was the hard part But it put our minds at ease. The drama was overrated The fights were way too many But the make-ups and break-ups made a difference And made us think a plenty. The teachers were our light That got us to where we are Even connections, useless as they seem to be, Will help us go really far The hearts were full of words unsaid As we took our final steps Outside the doors, into a new life As we drew in our final, middle school breath. The eyes were full of spilling tears That cascaded down our cheeks The sun was shining, so how could we Be feeling so very bleak? All of it is now a blur I wish I could go back And change everything that I had done Just wipe it away to be packed. But we can't change our mistakes in the past And we can't relive our lives As much as we wish we could return To the place where our last tears together were cried. The middle school years were the best And we're sad to see them go Especially those who didn't say a lot Who didn't let their true love show. We were alive when we were at school Because we were with the people we loved Our memories are the best token of that year Even jokingly being shoved. But now that all my friends are gone Onto high school, seperate ones at that, I'm still here, silently hoping Wishing that I could go back. But our time there was for the best, And this has hit me with a hard SMACK! I love everyone there, and now I have to say I just want my life back.
