After High School

After high school,
you will no longer steal a friend’s pen.

Your heart will be chambers of memories
missing the best moments you had in class with your mates.

The fun,
the games,
even the bullying
and the Romeo and Juliet drama
would no longer exist

After your high school exit,

you will miss
walking around
the noisy aisles of the classroom
aimlessly.

The walls of society will put us in different houses,
based on our dreams,

After our high school exit,

There are things, we did in high school

and won’t escape from its chains.

So,
while you’re there
enjoy every moment of the “HIGH” to your best
because after high school
the “SCHOOL” becomes different.
