In light of the grade 2 high school graduation tonight, I wrote this poem last night. Enjoy!

Once upon a time
All those years ago
I’d chase my dreams
Not realizing the limits
That can hold me back
But now I see
Something will break
Hold you back
Make sure you don’t make it
Even though it’s fate
That tells you so
You were made for it all
A wish is all it takes
To make you break free
And start running away
From the hold backs
Towards your goal
Reach for the stars
Nothing is impossible
You got to have faith
You need to dream
You have to believe
That anything is possible
Because that’s what it takes
To be stronger than ever
Even though the past
Can hold you back
Believe in yourself
And you can do anything
Now it’s time that I
Take a step forward
Forget everything broken
But remember the lessons
That makes me who I am
One day I promise
I’ll come back and see
Walk through this place
And all the memories
Come running back
But for now
I’ll run away
To chase my dreams
Live my life away
And reach for the stars
