Short stories and Other Whatnots

Change is Inevitable.

The four years are over,

The moment has arrived,

Time to walk on stage,

Walk in to the spot light.

Everything is, has, and will change,

Change is inevitable, change is poignant,

These four years will be hard to let go of,

But all the same, we’ll be glad to leave.

We’ve been through this, maybe even once or thrice,

We’ve sat in chairs in cold rooms with strangers,

Strangers we’ll never see, but hope to one day,

For it will be a sign of the banishment of our fear.

Fear of rejection, our bitter demise,

Dare I say I’ve been through it five times?

One hurt more than the last,

But lest we must forget, this is the past.

Forget the fear, forget the rejection,

You can burn, or drown, or toss that piece of paper away,

But never can that piece of paper destroy you,

Your failures do not define who you are.
