High School

With the knowledge
Of Our World
          Our World
Of HighSchool
I've realized
No one's safe
These teen soaps
Don'tlie
With the knowledge
Of Our, little, World
Of cutters
               Too manyto count
Of druggies
               Full time or not
               Acid and pot
Of sex
Hidden behind a door
Of bulimia
And anorexia
That has eatenaway
With the knowledge
Of Our World
Of our fears
          Our unseentears
Of our triumphs
               And our failures
Of our highs
               And our verylow lows
With this knowing
Of Our, eternal, World
I comprehend,now
We smoke
We provoke
We gag
On the lives we swallow
Wedrink
We seek
We cry
We sigh
We say good-bye
We love
               Theones
We laugh
               With
We hate
                 The ones
We contemplate
With the,sudden, knowing
Of this world
Our little lives
               No one seems tocare
Our large egos
               With no room to spare
With the knowledge
Of OurWorld
This moment of realization
               And contemplation
I've come to theconclusion
               A resolution
That no one's safe
From hell's hallways
OfOur World
