purple_shadows Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 (edited) So, after 4 quarters at the college, they are sending me back to the highschool. I don't know about all of you, but I hate highschool. I left for a reason, a very good one actually. And just when i thought I had escaped, they had to dangle 3 required credits in my face that I didn't have the capablity to take at the college. Anyways, my little dose of angst for you guys. Back to reality, back to the void Dulling the senses, numbing the insides Back to not being myself anymore Turn the sound up to ignore Back to the memories, back to the pain I don’t have to be there to know it’s the same Back to the smiles that don’t reach my eyes Although it’s not because I haven’t tried Back to high school, back to hell Just when things were working so well Edited January 31, 2005 by purple_shadows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peredhil Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Oh Honey, I am SO sorry. The best thing about High School at the time was graduating - it is such a distorted society, driven by hormonal hell. The contrast between the relief of escape and being sucked back in just makes it totally worse. *huggles long and hard.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyBuddha Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 High schools often seem like the most low level prisons, in terms of the social setup...partial confinement mixed with lots of cramped hormones and unsatable desires - *hugs* to you, just get through it all. At least you know that there's a light at the end of the tunnel. As for the poem, the line, "Turn the sound up to ignore," is really, really awesome at capturing what you're talking about. I swear I love that line to death. And with, "Back to the memories, back to the pain/I don’t have to be there to know it’s the same," the rhyming/syllabic structure goes really well, these lines pull of the rhymes seemlessly.

sweetnightmare Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Oh dear, High school sucked! Theydid the same thing to me when i tried to get out early, i was lucky enough to get through and go to college! Don't Worry though...when you do finally get away from it, you will find in the midnight hours when your thoughs stream back, you will be thankful its all over. Then a whole new adventure starts.

BlackCagedHeart Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I thought the poem rocked and I'm sorry that you have to return to H.S especially since it's super gay there and not the cooool type of gay, the really not gay gay. Anyways .... I feel your pain <sorry> BlackCagedHeart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
