Another

Dressed in
My gown,
I sit among
My peers who are
Dressed like myself.

They call my name,
I rise
And walk
To the front
Of the hall.

I am given
A sheet of paper,
Rolled,
With nothing on it.
Bulbs flash around me.

I take
Said sheet
To my seat
Where I watch
The end of the rite.

I walk out,
Being hugged by
My family.
Another graduation,
Another end,
Another beginning.
