Summer Freedom

When it's finally ours, this freedom, this liberty,

This beautiful and terrible thing,

Needful to man as air,

Useable as earth; when it belongs last to all,

When it is truly extinct,

When it is finally won…

Summer bears the freedom of a long 4 years. 

3 more months,

Until 4 years are over.


Weird right? A surreal feeling. 

A culture, a group of friends, 

All ending in 3 months.

A new chapter to be formed for each new person, 

A new beginning. 

After that summer, 

A new stage of life on your own. 


Your real life begins,

Whether you want it to or not,

Its coming. 

If you embrace it, 

Great things will happen.

It all starts with school ending this summer. This beautiful and terrible thing,

Needful to man as air

Freedom
