High School Dance - Tumblr Posts

Poem: Streamers

In another world,

You and I would step out,

Arm in arm,

To dance beneath the streamers

That scream “PROM”

In shades of neon

That you’d call “nauseating”

But make you smile nonetheless

Because the atmosphere there is too upbeat

For a poor design choice to make a difference.

We would sway to too-loud tunes,

Slow-dance on what is supposed to be

One of the best nights of high school,

And pretend that we will be okay,

At least for one day.
