Middle School
As you walk through the dispirited halls
I smell the stinkof well trained tyranny
And their eager masters, cracking thier whips at every
unsuspecting victim
I hear the jeers and taunts thrown around,
bounced off the walls
owners unaware they can pierce the heart of another
I see the arrogant miscrients strut around the school
see the sullen expressions of the students
see the ocassional spark in an eye
a once permanent, now fleeting genuine grin
but the spark is soon washed away by a sea of insults
the grin quickly diminished by the thing you call
social standards
innocence usedto cover these walls in a
confident
glow, it has now since faded
it was chipped away
by every
dirty
word you uttered
and every
filthy gesture you make
I see how this generation is evolving
how our kids will soon be without innocence
I want to help
want to fix this terrible
spiral
our
world
is going into.
But i can't for
i am that chair
that sits on the side of the room
i am that light fixture
that hangs over your head
i am those lockers
you slam your books in every morning
i am that window
you stare out of when you daydream
I AM ALL AROUND YOU
