Teachers don't know
parents have no clue
It happens every day
We don't know what to do

The emos and the skaters
the druggies and the goths
We all get pushed around
by the preppies and the jocks

They make us afraid
to even be ourselves
They call us cruel names
So we stay in our shells

We're hiding from the high school rat-race

I wish they'd just leave
I'ts not like they even care
what we've done to them
I'ts only cuz we're there

They call me a f**
While I'm thinking trash
I can't say it out loud
It's like I'm in their grasp

I finally graduate
Theres no need to pout
I can't really believe...
can't believe I'm finally out!

but then I look outside....s**t!
It's just a Real World Rat-Race

I find your poem to be very true, it's nice. I like how the inspiration came from Bowling For Soup, a good band.
