Life is like a Vampire
High-school is a vampire
Sucking life out of you
It invades
Eventually destroying from the inside
It hinders us from our best
Fangs of red ink lurking in every room
Always in pursuit of your soul
It fuses itself with you
You think you control it
But it is just idle
Waiting watching
You can’t adapt to it
You must propel yourself through life
If you don’t it will suspend your dreams
Forever not moving
Watching everyone pass you by without care
You feel chains wrapping around your body
try to fight them
But can’t
try to breath and feel life seeping away
They suffocate
Strangling
You fight for air
The black cloak of death falling over you
Think about all you have left to do
Need to find the energy to fight
to break the chains
to fight the darkness and start to breath
You start to move
Fighting your way through
You do everything you want to do
Flying towards the light
The burning light
Blinding, surrounding
Engulfing you
It’s Freedom
That is the end
The end of high-school
