The problem with the end of secondary school
Is that theres not really a definete end
theres no cut off point
Where you can say: "im never going to see you guys again."
Theres the last day before exams
the last exam
prom
results day
and most people go back to sixth form.
"im going to cry a lot" i declared on the last day before exams
squeezing into my fairy wings
Whilst others packed talcom powder and toilet paper
Then proceded to run around like lunatics
whilst the year 7's, and me
hid under the tables
Then we had out leavers asembelly
with photo after video after photo
of the same 10% of our year
because most people keep track of time passing
with memories
not selfies
but watching them you wish you pulled your phone out for a few
because you cant put filters on memories
or at least not the ones with dog ears
Then the prizes:
most likly this, most likly that
with the same 10%
As for the people who never put themselves in box's to be easily remembered
we came away empty handed
Then we were ushered outside
to take photos infrount of a frount door we were never allowed to go through
my fairy wings flapping in the wind
my eyes half closed and never knowing what to do for "lets do a silly one"
and i felt like crying
but only because invisible
because i experianced life through my eyes
not a camera lens.
