The hallway
endless
Dark
dusty
We had worked towards this moment for so long
We knew that anything could happen
I couldn’t see you but I knew you were behind me
Still, I was scared to lose you
“What will happen?”
“Who knows, have we ever known?”
I wish that you would have the answers
But I know the future will always be cloudy
Why do I have to lead the way
“Will we win this, did we do enough?”
“I think we did all we could but is winning the only goal?”
You right
I just want to be happy
Wining won’t guarantee that
How will I be happy?
“I think I wanna be happy”
“So what are you going to do?”
I don’t think I have ever known what I am doing
I’m lost and you are lost with me
We can’t win
But we try
And I think that’s all we can do
If not then what do we have to show?
Maybe that’s all I can do
Maybe this is where the hallway ends
“So please don’t leave me”

I wrote this about a marching band competition, and a conversation I had with the senior behind me. I was really nervous and this was the last time I would perform with the seniors before they left, so i wrote this poem in my head on the way to the field.
