How do you quit AP Chemistry?

How do you quit AP Chemistry?

By walking out

That heavy door

For the last time

Holding the shame

Of the mask that

Cracked

From years of

Overuse

Maybe you’ll forget

How to

Drown, while you’re

Swimming faster

Than you ever have.

How to

Cry after the

Christmas party

So you can’t breathe

Deeply for days

How to

Say goodbye

To your coat

Your goggles

Your data

And to Eden,

Who she was,

And who she thought

She was

Going to be.

A last farewell

To the spectrometer

That shone light

On my specimens

Determining

Their genuine

Composition.
