HSC, three little letters inspiring horror and fear,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
13 years of schooling led to this, can\u2019t believe it\u2019s almost\nhere,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Been ups and downs over the years, sometimes sun, sometimes\nrain,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kinda fitting that the final level would dish out the most\npain,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That workload ever-increasing, showing no signs of ceasing,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Low-key feeling the pressure from the relos to pass with\nflying colors, it\u2019s boom or bust the way they\u2019re talking about it, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like it\u2019s do or die, that a piece of paper determines one\u2019s\nfate,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No wonder some check out early when they fail to make the\ngrade,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time to get serious, though, need to start thinking about\nlife on the other side,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This here\u2019s the training ground, Kid, out there it\u2019s real\nlife,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uni, TAFE or the workforce, the choice is yours to make, better\nmake moves now, they\u2019ll soon push you out the gate,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But let\u2019s get back to the tale, shall we? Still plenty to\nunpack here,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never had true allies in this place, just some guys that\nknew your name,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And even then, within their circle, found yourself\nconstantly on the outs,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Left you high and dry when jerks came knocking, seemed to\njoin in the hazing and finger pointing, until eventually you were left deserted,\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No safety in numbers, going it alone has consequences,\nwhat\u2019s a boy to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s a taste of real life, Dude, fend for yourself, that\u2019s\nwhat grown folks do,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Home remains where the heart is, but even solid foundations\nchip now and then,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Got too much on that plate to take notice, hopeful, somehow,\nthe structure won\u2019t go collapsin\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
