Looking back at term
Seeing the reflection I left
On the cold clouded glass

Seeing my soul
Cry for friendship
Seeing my ears
Cringe to argued words

Looking back at my
Footprints
The trails I braved
And those I merely stepped on

Hearing the crunch of confidence
Shatter from the misunderstood
Hearing it mend back together

Now I hear my footsteps
Echo through that hallway
Now I feel the lessons
Enscribed into my heart
I will come here
Fresh
Where I will begin
Again

Don't you just love that feeling of looking back on the school year and thinking about all that you've been through, and how you've learned from it all? I do :)
(This isn't meant to be a regretful poem)
