The Few Who Stayed
Written by [REDACTED]
~~~~~~~~

The halls of the school kids were plenty
Easy to get in a riot
But now they are empty
Save for a few, the halls are quiet

Autumn, Deserae, Amber too
These kinds of days there's rarely more
Classrooms with the usual 22
Now have only 3 or 4

I am one who lingers
Though the school day is done
No pencil between my fingers
When we leave an hour 15 after 1

Not the usual students displayed
We are the few who stayed
A little Shakespearean sonnet I wrote yesterday at school. Everyone was given the chance to leave at lunch. Only a few, myself included, decided to stay.
