That Vitamin C Song (#30/30)
[Prompt for today: "30. That's All Folks: Write a poem where something (big or small) comes to an end." this is particularly fitting because I am going to be graduating this weekend and I wanted to write about how i'm feeling in the days before.]
Blogging has taught me to let go
of my perfectionism.
These months of self-directed writing
no deadlines save the ones i suggest to myself
have taught me to
just get it out
finish it up
write what you feel
not what you think
Graduation has taught me to let go
when I thought I already had.
Walking through the Diag to get tickets
for commencement
for the Big House
for the end
and there is a surprising lump in my throat
I thought I was done
thought I was ok
but watching students walk my walk
from months ago
thinking i'll never walk that again
not the same way
and it scares me,
this ending
i'm afraid that i won't know how
to begin again
