Aiden has just finished high school and is moving on to bigger things. He had this to say: “Goodbye YWP! It has been an honor.”
Bug

Grade Twelve, Woodstock Union High
Bug, step into the shadow. Know,
that you've got no where to go.
And the wound's too hard to sew.
Let it go.
Hear the pleas from down below
Let them take away your glow
Give the people a good show
Let it go.
And they say that I should try to live my life with no regrets
But its so hard to forgive, so hard to forget.
And I know it takes a while for the good things to commence
Just because it isn't easy, don't mean it don't make sense.
And I should know
I don't know how to explain.
No one's fault, no one's to blame.
Just an empty picture frame,
Passive face, It's a shame.
You're so tired of these games.
Please don't try to learn my name.
If all sentiment is vain,
It's a shame.
And they say that I should try to live my life with no regrets
But its so hard to forgive, so hard to forget.
And I know it takes a while for the good things to commence
Just because it isn't easy, don't mean it don't make sense.
And I should know
