High School

It's where at first you are excited yet nervous

It's a feeling you can't fight but still try to.

Is where you find your purpose

either think you're the best

or worthless.

Meet new people , from all around your area

meet the teachers, workers & neighborhood

The thought of finals or drugs being introduced

you don't know which one is scarier 

You start to make alllll the friends in the world

even get a special someone along the way

Either avoid alcohol or still stuck on that tanqueray 

Puberty starts to kick in

in full gear.

You learn that is not all about seeing ahead of you

but also your rear.

Either you take your life into steer or live life like 

its terminal is near 

You either get the motivation to persevere 

or indulge in addictions

those leave souls quite severe.

The person you was 3 years ago prior 

seems to change its tone as a choir 

would do when its solo is front stage and

its main singer has to go higher.

You either take control of your actions now, 

be your own boss 

or find it later , literally lost

I rented and wore a black cape with a ruby red lining to my high school prom. Throughout life
people have said, "that dana sure is a strange dude"...lol

It has been a long time since I was in high school but the truth of it never changes. I think you hit the nail on the head with this piece. Many become the adult they will remain in high school .

One truly does change a lot in high school. You will find the same will happen in college. The day you first enter campus and the day you walk in the commence ceremony, you will be two extremely different people. In fact, I changed much more in college than high school since I had the same classmates from kindergarten through twelfth grade, as the denizen of a small town. I'm going to guess you live in a city or larger suburban town if there are new faces?

Very true, totally know the feels I'm in my senior year right now. Super relatable and very well penned :)

good to hear, and glad to be reminded of the apportionment of doom you spelled out in this poem.
I remember those days well, never winning any approval in mass or making any 'true' friends other
than the few other nerds that happened, as I, to live those three years in total oblivion. This
ending is profound, either you take control of your actions now, or be forever lost.

I love this poem.
