I’m going to my 50-year high school reunion
traveling across 5 states,
I don’t like crowds or small talk,
my ADHD hears every conversation
like it was my own.
But I am going, for all those souls
who are with us only in spirit,
I’m going for all those too sick to go
and for those who can’t afford it,
I am going for them, to stand in the picture
and be counted
while I still can.
I am going for my husband,
because we met there,
and now we’re here, and still in love.
I’m going because high school
was not a blast,
a difficult memory,
but we all grow,
and we all change,
and I’m glad for those of us
still here.
