We Say Goodbye Now, But is it the Last or One of Many?

On the first day of school

Homeroom is quiet, filled with the silence and stares

Of people we do not know.

Numerous feet tap on the ground,

Nervously passing the time

As we wait in silence do be dismissed and see our friends.

Whispers begin in the corner of the room

Not all that quiet, though,

When everyone around is silent.

So, we talk to our neighbors

About how we are, are not, are indifferent

To the beginning of the year.

And when that bell finally rings

After long stretching moments,

Passing by like snails in the grass,

We spring from our seats in

A lion-like fashion

Eager to meet our friends.

And with parting ways,

We say goodbye to our neighbors.
