The Rules of High School

I thought it would be different for me, I thought I could be stronger.
No, I'm just like everyone else, and we all say high school sucks.
Rule number one: You are freshman, you must move out of peoples way, do no expect them to move.
Two: If you have too much eye contact, its creepy, but if you don't have enough, your up to something.
Number three: It doesn't matter if you have something to add, don't interject into other's conversations.
Three A: On that note, you're gonna get judged if someone finds out your listening to their conversations, even though everyone does it.
Four: People who already have friends probably don't want to talk to you, especially if your unique.
Rule number five: DEAR GOD THAT PERSON IS UNIQUE IT'S SO SCARY!! Yeah, people want you to blend in, not stick out.
Six: Don't be a teacher's pet. Just don't.
Number Seven: Accept that high school sucks.
Eight: Find your group of people and stick with them.

These are the things I am reminded of every day, and every time it happens, there is less hope.

    I want to write you a song, one that would make you think of me on a whole new level,
    One you could listen to when we're apart.

    Promise, Someday

    Someday.
    Someday we will hug and kiss like its no big deal,
    Wrap our arms around each other and walk down the street.
    Someday I’ll have a special name, that only you call me,
    Something that makes me smile,

    Always something

    It's always got to be something.
    That one thing that takes the wind out from under your wings making you tremble,
    and fall.
    And it's always the something you generally expect,
    But hoped wouldn't happen.
