Memories

This is a poem which I wrote for my best friend who is now studying in India. It not only talks about her feelings, but also about our own future...After 12th, all of us will chose our paths and leave this place and maybe this is exactly how we'll feel....

The wind played with her hair flying wild in all directions
Her swollen eyes looked around
For someone to break the silence.
Tormenting herself, questioning her life
It had been unfair
Changing within a matter of seconds
She couldnt bear it,
Unable to stop the thoughts, the sadness
With quivering lips, she looked around
At what she had to leave behind
She knew what she had to do,
What was expected of her.
With a silent prayer, a whispered thought
She looked around
At her friends, her belongings in life
So many memories, so much to say
Not a word came out.
She hid her pain, behind a beautiful smile
Said goodbye to everything and left
With a broken heart
Only thinking about the next time
She would see them all again.
