High School

Younger kids think the world is a happy place,

but as they grow older they realize it's not.

 

The world grows dimmer and darker as the drama of high school begins

pressure, self-esteem,UGH!

 

Students pressure others into feeling like they have to be a certain way.

 

yeah,sure, we're all friends in elementery,

in midde school we choose our main friends,

but in high school,

that's when the war begins

 

The pressure,

self-esteem,

drama.

UGH!

High School.

Oh yes, I agree. Although, for me, high school started in 1966.
I like how you were open and engaging in 2012.
I sense strength in you, beyond the norm.
I wanted to see your early work. I'm very impressed.
I'd like to share a poem that makes my point.

The Secret to Being Poetic
It is a gift you give to you.

A Poem About Poetry

Free yourself from expectations,
likewise too for explanations,
send them off on long vacations.
Harken to your soul’s vibrations.

Give yourself this simple treasure,
“Openness” without a measure.

The secret is to just be You.
That’s something no one else can do.
