This poem was inspired by the month of august. I didn't wanna write about a certain holiday. So I wrote about a event that'll be happening in that month. It's a really life changing event going to the college so I thought it'd be the perfect idea for the month. I tried to picture the day I leave and get inspiration from what I saw and felt.

I also like to rhyme in my poems because I feel it adds a little extra to it. This poem went through a lot of editing and I cut a lot of extra words. It really helped make the poem stronger. My first draft of the poem really did not feel right. The final draft I really liked and the way it sounded I was happy with.
