Away, to College

Grade 10

They load up the car.

They look like they're fine

But you know that it is

tearing them up inside.

You give your goodbyes.

You see that it is

getting harder for them

to hold in the tears.

You get in your car

and start to drive away

Knowing a new life

waits for you

out there.
