Nothing left to
Really say
I did the best I could.

Never thought I’d
Break this bad
From being misunderstood.

Hand me the diploma
And let me walk away
Holding my head up high.

I never thought that
In this world it wasn’t
Good enough just to try.

13 years of rejection
And too many second chances
In an attempt to try and fit in.

Even though I
Fell apart
I grew much stronger from within.

Blue and white expression
Remembrance of
Time gone by

13 years of life
Pressed into one single moment
But I’ll honestly say I tried.

Years filled with emotion
Hope carried
Me through

Lessons learned with time
And so much
Credit overdue.

So as I step away
From the stage
Tears welling in my eyes

Acknowledge that
I did my best,
Let me walk away with pride.

I might not have made
The honor roll
Or lettered in a sport

But I discovered myself,
I did the best I could
And suicide stopped becoming my last resort.

And even though
This journey is over
I hold a new life in front of me

I’ll grow into a
Wonderful person
Someone I never thought I could be.
