"I am Happy to The Point of Fear" -Ralph Waldo Emmerson


These halls are hollow...
The wind cannot blow away,
The tears that stain us,
The fears that stay.

These floors they echo,
Their words back to me,
The windows mirror,
The actions they thought I didnt see

Their eyes, they look my way,
They cannot see who I am,
They see a creature, so simple,
The do not know what chaos began,

The footsteps pass me by,
They walk on all my dreams,
I work so hard to fly...
But they tear them at the seems,

The air is stiff here...
My breath so cold...
This turmulous result,
Of so many injured souls...

Am I so invisible?
Is life really so cruel?
Not all of life is this way...
This is only High School.


The author's comments:
Highschool isn't a place for people to study and acheive any sort of education.
It is a stage
A stage of drama, misery, and turmoil that results in injured souls and wasted time.
Highschool is a waste of time.

Wise choice, very wise indeed! I was homeschooled through middle school and junior high, but NO! I wanted to be a "normal kid" lol.
