Those pale rust walls

Deep inside, I was afraid this might happen. The whole school year, this piece of information bounced on the walls of my subliminal mind, but I refused to accept that it might ever happen.

Conversely, it happened.

Moving away from those red brick walls so suddenly was meant to minimize the pain of leaving the school in the first place, but the fact that I've acquired a Transfer Certificate still hasn't really found its way in my head.
I can't really figure out what happened, and it all seems to be happening so fast.

Within a span of a little over 48 hours, I noticed I'd never be amidst those red bricks again and tomorrow, I'll have to place myself in a bus, taking me to the "pale rust" walls of a new world.

And as it is with every new turn, the body hesitates to accept the change it faces. That is exactly what makes me tell my Mom and Dad that "I don't wanna go!" but eventually, "I'll hafta go".
Well then, that's that. Goodbye 'ol red brick walls, it was surreal spending time amidst you.

I hope you regret not having me around.

  2. C'mon! I agree the sudden and unplanned changes can increase the urge to cling on to something you had ..till now. And one tends to overlook all the shortcomings it had. But I am sure you know that "pale rust"="red". I wish that you soon find that it's more than that!!!
    cheer up
    :-D

    Well, I wrote "pale rust" instead of "red" because I wanted to tell you that it's not at all a "bright" experience going to a place like that.
    It's dull, and it's pale.

    Of course, red bricks belong to DPS.

    Secondly, I hope I find some good news ,too.

  5. Frankly speaking... I shed a few tears... When I read this... Just felt the same...when I was leaving my school my friends....leaving a place I lived in for like 16 years. It feels bad.... It feels real bad but then... when you got to go...you just "have to"

    The translation of the earlier comment...Now in ENGLISH...!

    Yup, felt the same way...I get trapped in nostalgia everytime I think about those times...
    But now, when I sit to think about it, the red-brick walls were turning hollow, and darker...

    btw, thanks for making it easier for the others to read!
