High school is supposed to be the days
The glory days we reminisce on once we are older
The days we tell our children
Our grandchildren
To bring bright smiles upon
Their oh so sweet
Oh so innocent minds

Our teen tears are supposed to be filled with fun
Mischief And mistakes

Not break downs
Mugshots posted on Insta
comments flooding with;
"Free him😂"
"My man ain't do no wrong 🥱"
Or
"This so ghetto😒"
"Only at_____school"

Shouldn't be praying for the years to be over
To be out and away
To be an adult to leave this unruly life

To learn and love
Not raising babies
Burying children

Burying friends
Worrying if you made someone angry
Or if some child decided he'd take many in a place of learning too
The life of the dead

High school
A musical
A dream
A wispy thought

The teen years
Kids as collator damage of a government that doesn't advocate for safety
Only those of arms
And the mentally ill

Both a volatile waste of time
Shot after shot taking and giving
The looming threat of grief

High-school is not a blissful memory but  a war story the elderly will tell many one day
