My thoughts are a canvas painted in spray paint along a rundown subway.

I look back on my nearly twenty years of life and I'm amazed

At how much I've done.
How much I haven't.
How much I should or shouldn't have done.

I see my deep past,
The part of me I earnestly tell people
At three in the morning.

I see school days flickering by
Like an old school flip book that measured My life.

As the pages flicker by
A clear picture becomes evident:

Where one is not enough,
Many together can overcome.

My friends as life would so have it
We are getting pulled to different parts of the world.
Some of us may thrive,

Others may fall,

It is up to us to hold together;

If one can not overcome, many together can.
For my friends. You are the reason I exist. You are my brothers. My sister's. You are my support and you are my role model. You push me when I struggle, you pull me up when I fall. You keep me grounded when I am out of my mind. Just because we may be leaving for college, you will never leave my heart, and you will never leave my thoughts, and we will never leave eachother sides.
