My hearts to big
My smile is too quick
I know who I am
I choose how I act
I spent some years
Acting how others wished
But now I know
I must live to be me
Not just to please others
Hidden
Lock away the magic
Close my eyes and hide
I have this one fear
That must be kept far away
The past has been too painful
For I gave too much
I shall never allow
Such to happen again
No matter how it is I feel
I must always be in hiding
That pain was unmatchable
That life to hard to live
And how it would increase
If this were allowed to last
Burn
Deep within the fire starts
A single spark is all
That it shall ever take
Reaching my heart
This fire then erupts
Anger spills across the floor
Another spark then clicks
My thoughts set in motion
If the world would stop
There’d be a second to think
Only then is there a chance
The fighting could stop
If the problem were found
And action took
The fire would not start
The anger wouldn’t flare
About the Author
Amy Tuso writes about high school because she knows the importance, value and overall impact those four short years have on all of us. She remembers high school in graphic detail, yet chooses to still spend her days within its halls. She is a social worker specializing in substance abuse and violence prevention in a high school setting. She has found that in high school what is normal becomes grey and is based more in perception than reality. Her stories represent both the perceptions and the realities of growing up; they are a journey through clichés, brutal honesty and true friendship. She believes that what doesn’t destroy us makes us stronger, but being strong doesn’t mean having all the answers.

Her calm demeanor is shaken as her emotions are brutalized, and her take charge personality must be reigned in to save a friend from herself. Some scars change us.
