High School
News of a breakup spreads around as one of the victims cry
Another person with the same pain manages to keep it all inside
One person dramatically complains that they're life is ending
Another person is going through their spiritual awakening
One person uses all of their energy to drain that of others
But they're all oblivious until the consequences hit after
This is the place where innocence comes to die
But considering the world we live in, that's quite alright
They claim no on understands and to an extent they're right
Their elders have long forgotten what truly being young was like
They start to walk the path made for them
Whether that's efficient, binding, or mayhem.
A crowd of faces come and go everyday
Perhaps this is the biggest thing I appreciate
You can be sure the air reeks of pessismism
Yet I easily maintain my optimism
It's often easy to look at them in disgust en mass
And more difficult to remember they're doing the best they can with what they have
I'm not a fan of this place but it's done so much for me
For without this strong source of material, where would I be?
