Ray

A character piece for school.

Ray sat alone,
A bottle his only solace,
He winces away the daggers
Left within his throat.

Life was just as he had feared;
A neverending parade
Of superficiality, gossip
And popularity contests.

These days,
He was just as wanted
As he was in high school,
Not at all.

He stood upon a chair,
offerig a final word of wisdom,
"High school never ends."
He met a grin as the chair met the floor.
