In the universe, the world exists as a place Serving as as a stage for the flawed human race But a world can also be a time Though your definition of world can be different from that of mine Because I think high school itself is a whole different world Separated no longer, boys with boys or girls with girls It is a world where innocence is left behind With the crayons and the cartoons in the depths of time It is a world that exists for only four years Filled with joy, filled with pain, with laughter and tears No one before their time will truly understand And those after their time are now forever banned It is a society of a select few So much to learn, so much to do And the members of this society may not be old They may not be wise or do as they are told In fact, they're young and oftentimes foolish and rash In a world whose existence flies by too fast But mistakes are made, and lessons are learned Life goes on, despite some scars and burns It is a world like those movies come to life Who knew so much happiness can exist alongside so much strife? There's all the dramas revolving around love and lust All the dances and parties where attendance is a must There's the betrayal of friends and other loved ones The classes that serve not knowledge but only teenaged fun The text messages that race across screens are the communications of choice The girls giggle and obsess over gossip and boys Everyone is a rebel, resistant against authority So many stereotypes to fill, so many stereotypes to be High school is a world where first love is often found It is a world of exhilaration and nerves for those college-bound Where crushes are chased after and hearts are broken So much has been said, yet so much is left unspoken Sure, there's the homework and tests, but there's so much more It is a world that exists inside everyone's core It may only last for four years, but it lasts forever in one's mind Often reminisced and thought about for the rest of time The scars from high school will forever last No matter how far it lives in the distant past And if you're at your high school reunion, you'll wish you were back To shuffle back to class, to have one more carefree laugh No kids or full-time jobs or bills to pay Work is no work and play is all play You may complain or grumble, you can whine to your heart's content Rules are made to broken, or at least to be bent There's involved so much deceitfulness and so many lies But as you clutch that diploma you'll surely start to cry Think about all those friends, all those memories you're leaving behind Scared of the future and what you will or won't find Appreciate what you have whilst it's still there Nothing lasts forever, it won't always be here So go out and party, hang out with your friends Stay out late till God knows when Go to homecoming, go to the prom Make your own bid for that much-coveted crown And then later, as you walk across the stage Look at your class with a smile on your face Thank everyone in your life for giving you these memories All that you hear, and all that you see You will forever cherish, forever remember But remember forever never lasts forever Now it's time to close this chapter of your life A new chapter awaits, in this book of your life Because remember, high school is a world that never dies It may not always exist physically, but it'll always live in your mind |
