This random idea came to me as I was trying to remember the assignment I got on the first day of Health. It was either "Write a reflection about" the song we'd gotten the Xerox-ed lyrics to, or "Write what high school means to you." I started writing about the latter, but in the morning, my friends told me that it was the reflection on the song. Bummer. But i got a great and cool poem out of this temporary brainfart. Hope you enjoy!
