Graduation

After my graduation

I walked around and waited for my family to come and find me

And It felt oddly familiar

Standing alone in a crowd 

Where everyone was being 

Embraced and hugged and together

It is an empty feeling

That was the epitome of my high school experience

And I felt like maybe I was not ready for the world just yet

I was scared to begin my life

And nervous to meet people

And worried that I don’t belong anywhere

And then my family came running to me

And I cried and cried

At the realization that I was never alone

I always had what I needed

And I knew at that moment

That I would be just fine
