from here to wherever

Folder: 
High School

there is no excuse for sadness

in a world of choas and madness

there is no reason to cry

and a world of you and i

but we do it nonetheless

who's to say who does it best?

there's no justification

for alienation

or desegregation

in this world vacant wheel

there's no time to weary

or lonely or cheery

when apathy is all that we need to feel

too bad

so sad

all we ever had

was a pint of misery

that was a passing fad

dressing in black

we can't take it back

hoping and praying for another attack

dreams

schemes

a million and one things

i wish i could hold them al in hand

and then they'd all be mine

now isn't life grand?

smiles and sighs

from here to hereafter

the sorrow

was planned

the laughter was canned

and all the tokens

tossed out to the stands

we never really wanted

anything but fun

and everything's death

my life's a rerun

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Let me first say, I hate this poem. I think it is awful, and very old. The only reason I am even posting it is to remind myself why I wrote it in the first place. And that reason, my friends, I am not going to reveal to you!
