15 Days.... Friends Forever?
15 days… it awaits.
The future envelopes me…awaits.
The wellspring of my life
It’s dry.
What of my heart?
It just lies in pieces…
The stage waits for me
My classmates for my charge…
They look to me expectantly
But I have nothing to give.
No wisdom resides in this body
I’m just as lost as you.
But I’ll climb anyway
Those steps so steep
Leading to the unknown.
“It’s just a stage!”
I knew you wouldn’t understand.
It’s more than a stage
It’s goodbye
It’s 10 year reunions…who are these people?
15 days…
15 minutes…
15 seconds…
It’s too little time!
You can’t make me say goodbye!
I can’t!
I won’t!
No…
I’ve just found it…
Where I belong
And now you threaten to take that from me.
The water washes over my head….
"Remember to breathe."
I open my lungs to inhale.
Just like the water engulfs me
With an terrifying speed
So this 15 days passes
And leaves me with nothing.

Wow Brianna. That was amazing. I got teary eyed. Seriously. I loved it. The stage thing was so cool with the goodbye line and... who are these people...wow. It was just really good and if you have more writing, you gotta put it up....awesome.
Brianna, it was a great poem. Really it was. You know you can write, and I've told you you could from the first time i read anything of yours. Just don't forget you have friends other than the ones walking across the stage with you. You have a friend, that loves you more than most, that won't be at your ten year reunion. Remember that. I love you, still.
Just wanted to post a comment about this, just to let you know, "So this 15 days passes
And leaves me with nothing." as you wrote....it may feel like that but what it really leaves you with is "Everything"! wait, be patient and you will see that what you know as truth now, will soon show itself as just a drop of reality and the true fun and self-discovery is about to begin!
