the faces of High School


The faces of young
Those of the years gone by
In High School
Where are they now?

The years of carefree
The years of not worrying
About the world and its cravings
The years of books and tests

When it was over
Some couldn’t know what to do
Out in the cold without any idea
Some went to colleges and universities

Some learned the hard facts of living
Cast out to find a way to stay alive
Jobs or the wayward living
Facing reality wasn’t an easy change

Some died couldn’t take life failures
Leaving their young faces behind in memory
Some suffered depression and mental breakdown
Some didn’t have tomorrow they took what was today

But we always hear the story
The best life is in school
There is the free way
No need to think of life challenges
