Poem #1 • High School

it takes three minutes to walk up the hill
two minutes later I'm walking still
but it's worth it once I reach the top
since the bus is there; at the bus stop

there are people who sit and want to talk
but I don't really care since I just took a walk
to get where I am and there are no excuses
for I really just want to listen to music

I get off the bus where my schooling starts
and the horrid questions of am I smart
keep replaying until I'm sick and tired
of rereading the words I've forever highlighted

lunch break is heaven; I wish it could last
but more sooner than later, it goes by fast
more looking out windows while I'm in class
and in the end I barely pass

school is over and we get on the bus
those who are late screaming wait for us
where I sit there are no excuses
I just want to listen to my music

it takes three minutes to walk down the hill
two minutes later I'm walking still
but it's worth it once I reach home
now repeat the cycle; read the poem.
