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.
