The Final Class

We made to the end,

The end of the beginning,

The beginning to the end,

The final class of all our spinning

Our heads run wild,

So many emotions, so many thoughts

We have come so far from being a child

All that’s left to do is just connect the dots

We used to dream big, as high as the sky

As we grew older, we forgot to smile

Now it is time to say our goodbyes

From school classes, to a whole new lifestyle

We pull up our ties,and walk a mile

Forget what we once wished to be

And start the dream, just give it a trial

Once we leave, we are all free

Free from the system

Free from our grades

Free from the school bell that we missed everyday

It’s okay to be nervous,

I know I am shitting bricks,

But just remember the last 13 years has been a social service,

It is now time, to go out and show the world all of your hidden tricks

We all are capable of graduation,

Finishing assessments and memorising revision sheets,

Buying tickets to school from the train station,

Remembering the lyrics to all the new beats

We play our music where ever we go,

Most of us by now have chronic hearing impairment,

Getting told to take our ear phones out and stop the audio,

We all were annoyed by it , but some teachers it was them caring

We have been counting down the days,

The teachers, the students and our parents,

At the end of the day all our hard work will eventually pay,

Soon in the future we will be our own tenants

No more rules

No more controlling

No more sitting at our desks waiting for our feedback

When this year finishes, most of us will never talk,

We can question having reunions

But just in case, don’t go getting any Mohawks

School has been a ride and a bit of a delusion

But let’s all remember we are all human

We all make mistakes, and sometimes just have to go on a bit of detox,

Don’t take life too seriously, we don’t alway need a conclusion

Live life creatively, try to think out of the normal box.

Don’t go being transparent,

Wish each other happy birthday

Congrats on being a graduate

Now go and make it worth it.
