Green Grass roof on badge brown bricks
Spit shinned floors and music in the air
A patriotic spirit you can't help but inhale...
But...
I smell weed around the corner
I smell a black down the hall
And I smell a dead rat
Walkin my way
So many lies told today
Can't help but feel betrayed
And I can't understand
Why I love this place
There's a camera in every corner
And smoke alarms above the sinks
They must not work
Cause there's ashes on the floor
Your friends stab you in the back
But they're there when you need a hand
The school is always cold
But the air keeps you warm
And there's always a hug
Knockin on your door
Clap-Clap there he goes
OH GOD I miss him so
His new girl (she's so naive)
I hope she'll be alright
I know she'll be just fine
And Clap-Clap there she goes
I thought we told her so
This damaged hell hole
Where I left my soul
The day they bring in the dogs
That's when the lights go out
Half the school goes away
And most don't come back
This feeling everyday
I'm know I'm never safe
I hate the memories
I hate the atmosphere
This damaged hell hole
I miss my home
I really liked this poem. It's very real but also shows how you can still love something that seems so bad to other people. I kinda feel the same way about my HS... good work.
