here's a poem i wrote after a hard comedown---tel me what you think

[Nickiestardust]

Here’s to high school friends…
Everybody lift your glass up nice and high
It’s time to toast more than a decade of convenience
Here’s to establishing hierarchies
Within a group of nobodies
Here’s to translucent praise
And blunt dagger stabs and cheap tackles
To looking for better deals
And hot bargaining trust
Here’s to jealousy-soaked torment
And lost sleep and spilled milk
To sheepishly succumbing to cliché
Then fronting to avoid it
To illusory smiles and tricky bait
And hyped-up potential and crumbly ambition
To wallowing in what never was or what could have been
And treading on.

 

[Burgundy Buddha Lady]

[Noodle]

sweet musings on thd trivial and transient nature of the social circles and clicks we have all at one time or for always have participated in.
I like it too.

Definitely very true.
Thank God I'm out of high school...I hated that place.

I liked the poem, thanx for sharing it

Yip, if someone asked me to pick a line and it would have to be related to my years at school... it would have to be..
"you saw the whole of the moon", cause we (our whole class) did this on our last day, pulled a brown eye at the whole fuckin school.

 

[Infinite Jest]

Yep, that about describes it. For those of you still there - life gets a hell of a lot better once you leave
Si

I feel ashamed of how I once acted back in high school. Thanks for putting those feelings into words.
