High School

Dark halls and dark hearts,
Free-for-alls and social sharks
All a strand in a common thread
Entwining dark faces in racial dread

Dark secrets and dangerous lies
Not uncommon in these social ties
Innocent victims thrown out of a crowd
Their solitude too soon become their shroud

“Innocent” fun in the eyes of many
Eyes that see little of back-stage game
To lead a crowd one’s ultimate weapon
To walk against, to walk away
