Screams echo throughout the halls,
Bouncing off the lonely walls
I ignore them and walk away
tapping out rhythms as i sway
to the melody floating through my head.
Fights around me, blood is shed
The police sirens wail down the street
I sit in class, rocking to my own beat
As the yells subside and the hall clears
I notice my paper is coated in tears
I think long and hard about what made me cry
and I realize it's the violence, that's why
High school...it's endless and painful,
violent and cruel, and it will never be peaceful.
