Haiku for High School

In High School he tried

So hard to become a cool kid

part of the in crowd

Because of a girl

he hoped she would just date him

she liked someone else

Someone not worthy

Much worse than no one at all

He's telling himself

Getting in the group

Means she will see he's cool too

Worthy of dating

That's not how it works

This he found out the hard way

at the house party

He burst in the room

thinking he could still save her

A bad idea

She had just been saved

her virginity not lost

It was set aside

He looked like a fool

All of them made fun of him

so he left the group

Cliques are just like cults

Those so called cool kids all suck

he tells himself now

Lesson, the hard way

he'll never save anyone

when he's lost himself
