My Poem

Most of the time, I feel like the weight of the world can get to me. That happens to a lot of people. They think that this excess baggage can get overwhelming, well it can. For most they deal with it in a positive, natural perspective, other times, they deal with it by self-harm. I, on the other hand, deal with it with poetry. It was a normal ordeal at school.

But all of a sudden, I snapped out of my dreamlike state. Why does everything have to revolve around popularity? Why can't it be simpler? Why can't we all just be happy and ourselves around everybody?

I believe that people at high school or any type of school really just believes that they have to play a role to society. The cheerleaders think they have to act the part, the jocks believe that they can only hang out with the cheerleaders and themselves, to avoid band members or unsocial people.

They have to believe that their fellow band members can get the right steps, the right notes, everything has to be perfect for this sport to work.
Everyone thinks lowly about the band because society thinks that band is a bunch of nerds in a nerdy uniform. Well the nerd and the nerdy uniform are pretty cool. But we don't look like the dorky kids in the movies. Like
