The Day I Left High School Poem by Lisa Knipe

Ever since I left school, I became a better, wiser, confident and cared what people thought of me person. I did things that I thought was clever, but only ending up regretting them. Someone once said 'School is the happiest time of your life.' But my life didn't start get happier and better until I left school. I used think I would never be confident, happy or even get a boyfriend. But look at me now, me and my life are the complete opposite. Every day I wish I would see them and then I would prove to myself and them that I don't need them. I can finally be myself for the rest of the my life, without being someone else.
