My Goodbye poem

Sorry this poetry response is late!

Goodbye

Goodbye to the old life,
to the dogs barking
at the kids playing
with my little sister in the street.

To the red walls of my basement room
and the concrete floor
littered with sharpie memories.

Goodbye to the old life,
the the ground coffee
from the coffee tree
to the antique smell of
family owned shops on fourth street.

Goodbye to the old life,
welcome the new
the unknown
take in the swell of future
that will suround me soon.

Hello to the new future,
you scare me so.

Hello to the new future,
you seem like suck a foe.

Hello to the now,
I think I'm ready to go.
