Metamorphosis
February 11, 2021
Painted cardboard halls
Endlessly crammed with chaos
Laced hands and I love you
Girls who forever feel small
With guys that will remain apathetic
Anxiety rapidly increases
Self esteem diminishes completely
Four years of alterations
You feel giant now
But at what cost
You threw away everything
To please a council of your peers
Instead of yourself
I hope you know who you are

I wrote this about how I belive high school makes people feel. You believe that you have to look a cetain way or act a certain way and that is not the case. High school should be fun. It is the last four years you get before you are thrusted into Adulthood. Most people don't have a nice time in high school and I think everyone should.
