open the door and walk into the dark hall
the halls are crowded, poeple surround you
someone runs into you, all your books hit the floor
no one stops to help, all you possessions
keep trampled under foot, crushed and smashed
people, rushed by, keeping there schedules
talking to friends and grabbing a snack
the hall is dark, but not so crowded now
you look at your papers scattered all over the floor
walked on, ripped in two, your glasses are gone
you wonder why you came to school today
your homework has disappeared
your lunch is long gone
the hall is dark, no one is around
slowly you get your papers that cant be fixed
the homework that cant be turned in
you stand in the middle of the hallway
and wonder which way is more worth the trouble
go to all the classes and explain you didnt have your work
or just walk out the doors and dont look back
the hall is dark, no one will see
the choice is yours and yours alone
the halls are dark
quiet
empty
soon they will be crowded again
will you be there
