Read under the more to learn a bit about this poem and what it means to me.

This poem is about my experience my senior year of high school and how different it eas from my past years of shcooling. In the past, through primary, elementary, and even middle school, i was an infamous student. I was an undiagnosed Auadhd kid who was very obviously different from the other kids and the typical weird kid. I was bossy and a trouble maker with strong morals and an attitude that could knock anyone off their feet. I was smart but couldn't figure out how to apply myself, and i was stubborn as hell. I pretended i was a cat for my first 11 years of schooling.

I'm no longer that rambunctious kid wearing his big heart on his sleeve crazy person that I was. I started to realize that my colors were fading, and my bright attitude was gone that bubbly and happy personality that I had was missing. I know it was a process that had been happening for a very long time. I just didn't realize how far it had gone and how much of myself I had lost. I've now since realized, I likely will neverget that part of me back that opacity set. I once had is gone, and there is no way I can get back to that strength. the reason i was that way is because i was a kid. i hadn't been force-fed the harsh realities of the world. Since i have, I've gone more quiet. During my senior year, i had lost a lot of friends. Sure, i had gained some, but i knew i would leave them soon, so i never got attatched. I felt so alone so invisible that i had never felt that before it hurt a lot. And so i wrote about it. And that's where this poem comes in. It's just a bit of how i felt
