How I Feel

for Samantha and Christina

 

How does it feel to leave

what you’ve planted

What you helped to grow?

 

Each day, each week, another student disappears.

Someone I grew to have hope in. Someone I cared for.
Now it’s my turn to leave.

I want to say goodbye with care.

Not just disappear.

Leaving here feels like planting a garden

then moving away

knowing

petals will open

roses will bloom

but I won’t be there to see it.

 

The new job feels like a bed of soil

and I am holding a palmful of seeds

and I don’t know what they’ll grow to be.
