I graduated

I graduated High School today

I barely did it.


But I did it.


As a kid

School was fun

No hard homework, projects or presentations.


As a young adult

Going threw changes

Changes that students will soon use to criticize.


Standing behind all the tall kids in school pictures

Being shoved in the hallway

Like one would do with trash.


Going thru four years of High School

I have to use letters to describe the years

Numbers make it look sloppy.


Stripping away one's imagination

Even though in earlier years

That’s all we had.


Losing friends, best friends

Due to society

Making groups and clubs for only certain students.


Separating students because of their ability to

Learn, comprehend, or gather information

Making them look less of a person.

 


Forced to take classes

That have absolutely nothing to do

With one's future.


Yet


We have to prepare

For the next step of our

Future, our lives, or college as many put it.


Becoming stressed

Because of the work that is thrown at us

So we work after school.


For hours


But we need to obtain at least

eight

Hours of sleep every night.

 

So we cry in class

Because holding everything in

Becomes to hard.


Now we can only pray

That college

Will be better.


If it’s not

Who knows

If we’ll make it threw.

 


Were all already trainwrecks.

I am a senior and heading off to college in the fall of 2019. High School is hard for many people and I feel like many can relate to this poem.
