The screams and shouts
The running and sprinting
The rumors and secrets
The whispers and murmurs
The dread of knowing your day isn't done just quite yet
The popular kids; and the nerds
The shy kids; and the loud
It all happens in passing period

Parents are loving
Questionable sometimes
Reel you into happiness when you are sad
See when you need help
Tell you to always be yourself

Rage rising above my head
Staring at my paper
Try try try over again
Underneath the frustration I know this
Which way to go, I don’t know
