Take a step
Open your eyes
What is it that you see?
Dirty tiled floors
Covered with scuff mark history
A spilled and bubbling beverage
Creeps down this narrow hall
While pencil lines and posters
Find themselves upon the wall
Stone brick walls surround
Memories of years that have long gone
Along with those past portraits
Of principals once looked upon
Pencils and pens
Crumpled gum wrappers
Old homework assignments
And note cards on the ground
These items all help to display
The shining, glistening high school
We visit day to day
