Goodbye

By Julia Kemp

Goodbye to four square

to snack time on the lawn

goodbye to sticky candy fingers

to glitter rainbows drawn 

farewell to whispers under desks

to slip on vans and jean shorts

farewell to awkward dim lit dances

to sleepovers and blanket forts

so long to AP notes and stress

to windswept car rides in the sun

so long to late night boba runs

So long to girlhood, free and fun
