I walk the halls
to get to my home the time being.

I walk the halls through the so called security I'm not really secure about.

I walk the halls to get some kind of lesson they put in front of me.

I walk the halls through screaming girls, fighting boys, and controlling teachers with an attitude.

I walk through the halls for last few months of the year and a few months from the new year.

I walk through the halls thinking of my problems. And how I can solve them.

I walk the halls listing my companions for the next four years.
