Life's Like School

Comparing two completely different things.

Life's like school,
there are people
to help you,
and people to
hurt you..

Life's like school
because
there are clubs
to support you,
in your time of need,
and jealous
people
that  leave you
high and dry

Life's like school
because its
crazy
and unpredictable...
you just have to
go along with
the rules...

The rules of life..

There's no pamphlet
of life,
to tell you how
to live,
only crowded
hallways...

In this mixed up
word
we
call
our
lives...

A very true poem. Life is life, and life is like school. I reallly like this. The comparison is very supportive, and you can clearly tell the frustrating times in our lives. Life is quite cruel sometimes, but stand on the other side of the spectrum, everything could look different. It is yet simple, frank and true. I also love the way how you use school with life to bring out the entire key point of the topic. An magnificent piece.

This has so much truth in it. School IS very much like life. Not the education, but the social aspect. I never thought about it much before, but you certainly brought this into a new light for me. Thank you! ;3

A poem that has the truth ringing in it, that expresses that life isn't always that great and it can get stressful and a little crazy at times, just like school...
As a current high school student, I appreciate this :p
Good job

Hmmm ...

Poetry is not one of my favorite genres. I avoid it whenever I can because some authors can be such prima-donnas about their work.

I like this piece, but I think the title should be, 'School's like Life'. That sounds just like Life, but in school, the environment is much more controlled.
You touched a lot of truth in this work and it flows pretty well, evoking the anguish and enjoyment of life and school. Well done

I like how the words drift away into the general craziness as the lines get shorter, and this is totally true :) I love it, well done :)
