Leaving Primary School

by Hannah Thomas aged 11

Looking back, I say my last farewell
to those I had been so close to
My teachers, my friends,
even my classmates
and all those who only expected the very best

There is always so much to be worried about.
Not having my friends
right by my side
does not help at all
It all just piles up

I know I have to find people I can trust, quickly
Someone who will care
One who will support
and only one who appreciates all that I do

All seems dark but I can see the light
at the end of the tunnel
There is work to do
places to be
so I can’t sit down crying

It is time to break free
It’s time to be me
and show myself off
to those who don’t know me
