Back to School Time!
Back to school
No more acting like a fool
Got put down the toys and pick up an academic tool
Whether it’d be a writing utensil or a book to situate my mental
Time to make new friends to study with
Back in the library, trying to remember study tips
Cramming for the exam, filling out my study guide with shoddy penmanship
Back to stressing over grades and test results, trying not to take stupid remarks as insults
Time to go to lunch and join a club
Back to trying to ask girls out who last year, gave me the snub
Back to attending pep rallies and football games
Taking so many pictures that’ll cost me a fortune to put all of them in frame
Back to waking up at 6 AM for a change
Wake up feeling strange and slightly deranged
Not really waking up until 2nd or 3rd period on any given day
Back to doing homework and projects at the last minute
I have to stop procrastination like it’s going past the speed limit
Back to going to school dances and buying the tickets, spending every cent
Trying to find a date for homecoming like I was the one planning the dance event
Back to fearing the future, knowing that when I graduate, I might never see any of my friends
Knowing I’ll never see 99% of the people I went to school with ever again
Some will look back and say “good riddance” and others will look back with fond memories
But high school will always stay with me; cause it helped make a piece of me.
