The world begins in middle school.
All experiences for the first time,
Making friends and foes, learning to be cool,
Trying anything, waiting for our prime.
Questioning everything, knowing it all,
First kiss, first heartbreak, first taste of defeat
Learning to grow, to cheat, to think, to fall
Testing the limits and setting it straight.
New people, new problems, new perceptions
Temptations, motivations, relations
Unrivaled expectations, deceptions
Successes and joys, filled with frustrations.
Yet earning the grade, striving for success
Practice, practice, practice for our life’s test,
Where there’s nowhere to tattle or confess,
Where drama’s restrained and love is a pest.
Practice for life, obstacles are hurled,
Middle School’s practice for the world
