Maroon Ribbons

How do you feel?
When the gold and the glimmer of summer slowly ebb away?
When the crisp air rolls softly in, trapped inside the ivory school walls,
Wasting away your day?
The cold glides in, and you’re hungering for truth and warmth
Clean air wraps around you, and you're counting down the days
Now, everything feels so surreal. After 9 years, everything will be over.
On that one paranormal night that will change everything, the grasp loosens and I break away.
All at once, I'm me
as these maroon ribbons fall to the ground.
All at once, I'm free.
