Not Exactly a Farewell

Dear teachers, I know its been a long while
But now I leave middle school with a smile.
The primary, then intermediate
To be honest, during that time I was full of it.
Then comes sixth grade.
I almost ended my life with a blade.
After that seventh, and later on eighth.
Where I tried to deepen my faith.
To all of you, I love you dearly.
You have taught me much more, clearly.
I have learned to be myself,
rather than leave my life on the top shelf.
Now it is time for me to move on with my life
To become, hopefully, an author and a wife!
Sometimes I see you like a sister or brother,
even sometimes an extra father or mother.
I hope for each other we'll shout and cheer
As we both move on with our academic career.
Wish me luck, I have things to choose.
So thank you. For a great time I did not lose.
