End of an era...

'This is the end.' crooned Adele at the Academy Awards, on 25th February. It was an end indeed, the end of my school life, the last day totally summed up this magnificent journey of 12 years. Though I've changed 5 schools in my life, they all were tied together by a common string, of a home like feeling, comfort and humility, especially high school. So here's a little poem, which is somewhat like an ode to the end of my school life, moreover high school life, and wishing us all luck for our future...


End of an era


‘High School!’
Those two words which made me lose my cool.
Huge books, alien teachers, and hostility,
Were all going to replace fun, laughter,and humility.

A few months passed quickly,
And this hostile environment became a sort of family slowly.
As I got a hang of it after a while,
Strangers became more than just a smile.

Forged new friendships,
Cherished old relationships.
Cherishing them, on each passing day,
Realized that we were never this way.

Some of the friendships didn’t last long,
As some people drifted apart, and never came along.

Days, weeks, months passed with some highs and some lows.
Peppered with laughter and giggles, at each blow.

All this time passed so fast,
Not a minute, to think of the past,
Let alone planning the future,
‘Cause it’s tedious, picking a career!

We are each at crossroads, in our own lives,
Waiting for our turn to dive,
Into the real world,
Out of this very secure mold.

This is the end of an era,
As my high school life is ending.
Which had a very bittersweet beginning.

These two years passed away swiftly,
Hope the coming ones to go as smoothly.
..But this is the end of an era,
…The end of a remarkable era.
