Let’s graduate with style, leave our mark
February 8, 2023
This is one of several “slam poems” from seniors who used words from a list of ideas responding to the prompt “As seniors, we are resolute. . . .”
As seniors we are resolute about
being of age, finally leaving
the halls of high school behind.
Making it through these last few months
with our friends by our side,
enjoying our time together
before we all go our separate ways.
Having fun and expressing our identity,
we’re determined to graduate with style,
leaving our mark on the world.
And while we’re excited to find one’s self,
we’ll also miss this place,
the teachers and the friends we’ve made.
As seniors we are resolute about
Going to college, and leaving home
we’re excited but nervous.
But we’re determined to make it through,
to not be singing the class song of defeat.
We’ll miss our families and the comforts of our home,
but we’re ready for the adventures that await.
We’re looking forward to going back home
to visit, and to see our friends and loved ones.
But for now, we’re focused on
making memories d having fun,
going to the beach and enjoying the sun.
We’re determined to make the most
of these last few months,
procrastinating and graduating
with our heads held high.
As seniors, we are resolute about
achieving our goals and moving on
to the next phase of life.
