High School

Walking down the hall
interwined with streams of randomness.
Degradation in some eyes,
uplifting motivation in others.

I look into several faces,
some avert eye contact,
some reflect complete fakeness back.
I push on as my real self.

It's times like these
I wonder how eighth grade dances,
spin-the-bottle,
"love" for the first time,
no-sleep nights,
and crying on shoulders
disintegrated into
'Hey's' in the hallway.

I changed earlier than most,
but are we all that different now?
