So Much More
Self esteem--self assurance
Scuttle your young shoes across the freshly waxen blinding whiteness
They say highschool gets better
Hang your head down and drift into your mindless universe
Maybe today they will leave you alone
The building walls, made by something greater than you--it's only matter
The dirty bathroom stalls where your frighting memories lie, are just that--memories
Faintly residing in the capacity of your intelligence, your eternal being
You will live to do something that is more than today
More than these beaten, yellowed lockers
More than the grimy pipes of the leaky puddle bathrooms
More than the stares of the callous, trite robots that conform to the dying system of bullying
A magnitude of things are waiting to be done
The sun is shining in your face--waiting
