Senior Year

Poem by Leanne Kirst

This poem is about how society is like as a senior in high school. It captured the anxiety of kids trying to figure out their lives in their final days of school.

In crowded halls and shifting trends,

A senior navigates, time bends,

Balancing the moments they can't rewind,

With dreams that flicker in their mind.

Social scenes and endless tests,

Finding time for self, for rest.

A would of choices paths unclear,

They chase a future, hold it near.

In laughter shared and late-night talks,

In dreams and fears, in midnight walks,

They grasp for life with all their might,

Trying to live through day and night
