Poem: The End of Summer

I suddenly had this sad feelings, and I'm blaming the music I'm listening to, so I had to let them out.
I would rather see it as lyrics, lol. It's too plain to be a poem


THE END OF SUMMER
Cheerful chatters, summer smiles
Everyone is asking ‘how was summer’
I tune their voices out
And listen to the songbirds instead

I listen to my friend’s summer story
‘And then he kissed me under the stars’
I call it honey-like happiness
She calls it a summer love

The summer’s sun is fading
And so are the days I spent
The season’s urgent, time for autumn
But for me, it’s still summer

The teacher says it’s time to get working
Time to get our vacation hearts back
‘It’s good to get started again,’ they say
But my eyes see only summer skies

It feels like being chained by duties
By responsibilities you finally forgot about
Feet itches to run out the classroom
It’s too early for school to begin

School’s over, time to find my way home
Mom asks how my first day was
I smiled and said it was great
While eyes are fixed on my plate

It feels like nostalgia, it’s silly
But while I lie in bed, I feel the longing
Wanting something I don’t know
But I’m going to be okay

Cheerful chatters, shining smiles
I smile brightly while telling a joke
About how I met this summer boy
My friend called it a summer love

Love this poem! Maybe you should really consider adding in some instrumentals to make it into a real song instead! I'm sure it'll sound great!! Hehe ^^
