High schoolA Poem by David-Tyler
I remember high school
Back when getting high was cool Pretty girls popped pills and bad boys got their fills Meanwhile popularity kills Getting grabbed by the girl next to me Stacy's tripping on ecstasy Saying she didn't get much sleep, she's not there mentally After how her parents beat her, she doesn't want to be Don't say we didn't warn you Spilling out early, what are we supposed to do When our parents are fighting demons of their own Nobody's sleeping, our heads feel like stone Nobody listens, they don't want to hear So there we sit still, learning Shakespeare To be or not to be, I felt like Hamlet Depression and anxiety made me a basket case omelet Blunts made time take a break And for once I couldn't feel heart ache Over the latest rounds of words my mom spat at me Ripping me apart like bullets through a paper tree Yeah, I remember high school Back when getting high was cool Pretty girls popped pills and bad boys got their fills But now we've all got bills

I'm critical of other people because that's what's helpful. I won't make anything personal until you do. I'm not here for drama, fights, or oth.. more..Writing
