poem from class

Goodbye...
Goodbye to high school
to someone always holding me accountable
to it being okay to makes mistakes
to never being able to fail
     not for a lack of trying

Goodbye to my family
to the rules marred by double standards
to the loveing obsequious little brother, little only in years
to the harsh comments made strictly to hurt
to my parents who always kept me from falling to hard
to the lessons they let me learn
   and the lessons they kept me from learning

Goodbye to my 5th home
to the creaking walls that terrify me at night
to wood pecker who i lived in the roof above my room
  and woke me up at 7 on sunny saturday mornings
to the bed constantly warmed
to the dog so ugly he was almost cute who kept it that way
to the black lab who hates the world, mostly me
to my puppy, no longer a puppy, who never gets mad  no matter how much i bugged him
goodbye to unconditional love

goodbye to my security
