What should I write about?

Question:

What should I write about?

I have to write a poem or two for graduation. Problem is, I don't know what to write about. I have to get up and read it during the ceremony, btw. I usually write poems that are more sad and wistful than happy. (I'm not emo) So, do you guys and gals have any ideas what would be a good topic that goes with the theme of graduating?

sad and wistful...hmmm....well write about the past, present, and future. you can talk about some of the good things, some of the bad and it can still be a bit sad and wistful, but let there be hope in there too.
