High School (A Poem)

High school, 

Where dreams

Get crushed 

Into essays 

And where 

Plans turn 

Into projects.

Nerds sit up front

And underachievers 

Sit in the back. 

Cheerleaders and football players 

rule the school and 

Nerds plan to be 

Their boss's some day.

Everyone is trying

To fit in

And no one wants

To stand out.

A place where

what happens 

behind closed

doors 

no one knows.

Life (A Poem)

We walk through
each day and
continually say
nothings changed.
When in the
back of our minds
we know that
there is so much
more we went
through.
So much more we
want to say.

Feeling frustrated
because everyone
bumps you,
stares at you and
criticizes you till
you feel like you
become less.
Less because
you care.
 Still say
everything is OK,
nothings changed
because it is
easier that way.

Run (A Poem)

We can only run.

Run from the ideas

that hold us back.

Run from the fears

that keep us down.

And tear down the 

walls that are 

in our way. 

Our minds can be 

our best friend

or our biggest enemies. 

Down out the negativity 

and run. 

Never look back.

Run.
