Penrith High

 .Its Something Unpredictable
But In The End Its Right
I Hope You Had The Time Of Your Life.

I have spent the last 4 years
Growing, changing, living, learning
Making friends, losing friends
Finding myself...
And losing myself

I started out a scared 12 year old
Who hated the world and wanted to die
The idea of touch, and love
Scared me shitless
I was just a little girl
Who had seen the bad part of life more than the good

A group of people who taught me to live
To have fun
And hug people
To let loose
And I will always be thankful for that
Being with them meant ditching others
Others who I merely used
So I wasn't alone

.Forgive Me.

As the years went on
I talked to different kinds of people
Made friends, and enemies
I started to let people know me
I started to have fun
Excursions, Camp, Formal
Exams, Class, Graduation
Times I will never forget

Throughout the 4 years
Two people got me through everything
Gavin. And Janeya
And while they were my best friends
They were also my prison
Holding me back from who I wanted to be
We had so many great memories
Walkathon, Sleepovers
Inside jokes, Days of laziness
The stone, Maccas
They helped me to grow
To understand myself more

They helped me make the choice

One that changed my life

The choice to leave

Thankyou

 

I have had 4 great years

But I was suffocating

Everyone judged me on who I used to be

Instead of who I was

I needed a change

 

 

.I've Had The Time Of My Life.

    Ohh, wow. I loved this!! I found myself relating to almost every line and I'm sure many other people can relate as well. It's scary to think that already 4 years of our life have gone by -- and so quickly, too!

    This verse was probably my favorite. I am so, SO grateful for the many people I have surrounding me today. I wouldn't have ever started truly living life if it wasn't for them! I am glad you have found these people, too♥

     

    Great song choice also, by the way. "Time Of Your Life" has gotta be one of my absolute favorite songs of all time =D

     

    Thank you, this was beautiful♥

    I like this. This is about growing up changing, figuring out who you are and your place in the world, which is so hard. I'm doing that right now, three years out of school one and a half years of college under my belt...now unemployed and struggling to contemplate who I am as a person. I wish I could go back to that safe place, where reality was tests, quizzes and who was wearing the hottest jeans. Superficial but yet oh so important at that time in my life. But we must grow up. Fabulous piece.

    sometimes it's the people who love us most, and who we love who hold us back

    it takes strength to recognise this, stand up and move forward

    Like you did

    Proud of you for that
