Every time I look out
At this broken wall
I always feel the pressure
Of knowing I might fall
For nothing amounts to nothing
If something doesn't come
And though a picture might seem happy
It might in truth be glum
Summer comes like the days sunrise
And the day after follows
And even though a child cries
The cycle continually cycles
Wrong turns out to be right
And what we know is lost
For every being knows
Nothings black and white.

The author's comments:
School is hard and rough, and every student with aspirations for the future are bombarded each day with too much stress. I tried to convey to the reader that even though it's hard to imagine the future, we must understand that we have to sacrifice in order to gain.
