Poetry On Odyssey: High School

This is just a little word of advice for the kids.

Either you’re a cool kid or a fucking dweeb

If you’re not drinking, you’re smoking weed

If you do neither, you're probably getting A’s and B’s

While your friends look less like 8’s and 9’s and more like, 2’s and 3’s


Now obviously this isn’t an accurate depiction

But when you’re that age, you might feel like you’re in that position

Caring more about babes than grades, changing your disposition

Being the popular kid becomes the primary mission


Acne, braces, glasses, you look like a fool

Become a jock and pick on kids, now you're a tool

So you focus on the negative and say ‘fuck you’ to school

Now your social life’s a little better, but your GPA’s turned to stool


You got mad friends? Good for you

You just got in trouble? Who stood for you?

Meet a few kids but befriend them? Nah, that’s something you couldn’t do

Off to the kool kids klub where they act like they’re too ‘good for you’


Spelled it with 3 Ks cause often times they shun ‘em all

Burning different ideas cause their word's the only writing on the wall

Fuck ‘em, if they treat you shitty, you shouldn’t care to even greet ‘em at the mall

Cause being different when everyone’s doing the same shit is what actually takes some balls


Focus on improving, don’t look at it as lame

Cause lame is spending 4 years in an institution and staying the same

You like English? Keep reading

Into numbers? Math blaster those exams like it’s a game

Just cause you’re good at ball and on a team it don’t make you LeBron James


Grind in the present, so you can relax in the future

Don’t become a dummy and make mommy pay for a tutor

Stop fighting for world star and talking shit to seem cooler

Both of those are only quick ways to get you some sutures


Read between the lines, and calculate your moves

You may not be a dancer but everybody finds their groove

You might start off digging hip hop, then have that Rawr XD phase

All that matters is when you do change, it puts you in a better place

If you dig someone, just be self aware of your detrimental ways

Don’t hesitate, cause the result may feel like a slap in the face


A little word of advice for the gullible folk guarded by their moms

If you’re on the computer, don’t listen to kids telling you to go on redtube.com

It ain’t relevant to YouTube and you’re going to look dumb

I’ve seen a kid do it once and they had to call his mom


Be confident, calm, cool and collected

You may slip up and probably get rejected

But you do you and you’ll find yourself get respected

Keep the eyes on the prize, your words and thoughts connected


Don’t make it a low point, it’s called high school, duh

It’s cliché, but try your best, don’t be that tight fool, bruh

If you're slacking, stay mad till you do better in class

Cause you can pay for school, but you can’t buy that

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
