darkness on the horizon.
False smiles and temptation,
a chance to escape.
Its happy with tears,
as the crowd cheers the beggars away.
Its a time to rejoice,
a chance to escape.
Before and after seems to blend,
finally letting go of everything,
Finally some light into my life,
a chance to escape.
All the fake faces and people crowd,
one by one receiving gratitude.
A sadness will run over you,
a chance to escape.
The real people scratch the ground,
fighting to stay and live.
Only few see promises they make,
a chance to escape.
Author notes
Its really about how Graduation is a chance to escape, but there is a happy side and a bad side to escaping.
I'm graduation this year and i'm scared cause I think I might mess it up. I will miss all the friends i have made and I will miss everything I have built myself to be in my high school. i just wish I could not have to worry about myself again. But, on the other side of things, i'm glad to get out of this place. Im sick of all the fake people. I'm just sick of this place.
I'm happy and sad at the same time, but i'm glad I have the chance to escape.
