High School


Fearful freshmen enter through the mirrored doors of Peer Pressure High School

to witness the snickering, whispering, and bittersweet kissing fill the halls,

and where teenage boys fantasize about winning over a blonde-hair, blue-eyed jewel,

instead of concentrating on snatching more home runs in baseball.

 

Snickering, whispering, and bittersweet kissing fill the halls,

where the popular clique brags about attending college parties.

And instead of concentrating on snatching more home runs in baseball,

they fall in lust and are too busy contracting herpes.

 

The popular clique brags about attending college parties,

where they avoid mysterious goths and meet ripped jocks,

who fall in lust and contract herpes,

instead of grabbing their bulky, science book on rocks.

 

They avoid mysterious goths and meet ripped jocks

on the party bus headed to a dance.

Instead of grabbing their bulky, science book on rocks,

they grab a gram and take a chance.

 

On the party bus headed to a dance,

the different cliques cuss and fuss

about winning over the blonde-hair, blue-eyed jewel,

who is a fearful freshman that just entered Peer Pressure High School.
