Who is Us?


They say it goes by too fast 

that it will be gone in a blink of an eye

one blink

it’s all gone

all the memories

the laughs

the smiles

the stress

the tears

almost bittersweet, huh?

High School is a roller coaster 

that’s for sure 

 

They say you make life-long friends

but everyone always leaves 

Who is the infamous they?

the ones who had good experiences?

the ones who were happy?

no one is always happy

maybe they learned to block out the bad times 

to forget the stress and tears 

But that wouldn’t be High School 

 

High School is meant to be a roller coaster

it’s meant to have good and bad times

that’s what makes us remember it

That brings me to another question: 

Who is us?

What gives us the right to judge High School?

After all, we have only been here for the four fastest years of our lives 

Atleast,

that’s what they say
