Writer's Block: High school musical

[Error: unknown template qotd]
Oh boy. What to choose. My middle school years were definitely not peaceful, and my high school years weren't much better. I was always fighting with my parents and feeling down. So, the song I think "Ovus Omnes," a song I sung in choir my senior year, would best describe those years. I have no idea who the composer was, but I do know that the text is Latin and from Jeremiah or Lamentations in the Old Testament. And believe me, I was lamenting a lot in my teens.

It also fits in the way it's sung. Starting very slow and building in intensity until it becomes a frantic cry for help, it mirrors how my condition came about at around age 10 and how I reacted to it. By the very end it becomes hopeful, which mirrors the hope I began to see once I turned 20. It's more of an anthem for the whole second decade of my life than just for my secondary school years.
