High school

is memorizing facts

that you’ll forget in two days

for a test on information

that probably will not affect

your job in ten years.

It’s sobbing and screaming

because you’re just too stressed.

It’s finding out who you are

within the school guidelines 

and social norms.

It’s doing 28 hours of work

and activities in only 24 hours.

It's drinking coffee
everyday
because there just isn't enough
time for eight hours of sleep.

It’s learning how to factor

when you could be learning

how to do taxes.

It’s breaking your back

with a backpack full of

textbooks.

It’s going to school

and sitting there for

eight hours only to go

back home and do

three more hours of work.

It’s crying in the hallway

during finals week.

Actually,
it's crying over everything
because
HORMONES

It’s taking what is claimed

to be the best three years

of your life and turning it into

a living hell.

High school

is leaving you clueless

when asked a non-academic question

because there is no

study guide

for life.
