What I’m Gonna Miss
February 8, 2018
I’m gonna miss school
The times I’d go to bed at midnight
And have to wake up at 6:00 am
I’m gonna miss my bus
The one that provided no heat during winter
With windows that wouldn’t roll up
I’m gonna miss my teachers
The ones who gave me tons of homework
And essays that had to have 500 words
I’m gonna miss my classmates
The ones who actually talked to me
And noticed the rare days I was absent
I’m gonna miss lunch
The meals that gave me stomach aches
And had hair as a secret ingredient
I’m gonna miss study hall
The period that allowed me to goof off
And roam the halls instead of using the bathroom
I’m gonna miss my classes
The ones I was consistently late for
And was able to use the desk as a pillow
I’m gonna miss my locker
The one that wouldn’t open till the third try
And didn’t have enough room to fit all my stuff
I’m gonna miss the playground
The place I couldn’t set foot on during school
But could watch vicariously as the younger kids did
I’m gonna miss the field trips
The ones they swore to be educational and fun
But turned out to be boring and pointless
I’m gonna miss all these things
I’ll definitely be back to visit
