Damn...

School,

Youth,

Adulthood

I’m doomed…

Work once you’ve graduated

Never mind if you hate it

Forget the bullies

Just get through it

Life isn’t a pretty garden

Good grades mean good life

If you mess around

You’ll burn through the fire

Outside is a jungle

All filled with adults

Who doesn’t care

They’re all like bears

Hungry for that honey

They step on the weak

It’s a bottomless pit

All for that money

I hate this system

I hate it all

And this is my weakness

I’m becoming small

Everybody’s like:

Work for this,

Work for that

You’re the first-born baby

Go and work up your ass

Get your mom a house

Buy your siblings a doll house

I’m sick of this shit

This is my own life

No, I’m not a rebellious bitch

I just want a fun life

Where I could smile,

I could try

To be who I am

And what I am

And where I am

Or who I’m with

Don’t define my own self

I’m tryin to be me

What’s the issue?

Why they keep on stopping me?

Am I wrong?

Am I stupid?

For trying to think differently

Is it a crime?

Are my rhymes,

All about whining like a child?

I’m done

I’m so done

Society hates me

I’m free

Only when I’m asleep.

Yet I always wake up

In this tragedy

Called “Reality”

Alright mom, I’m going

I’m five minutes late

To school

Here I am

Again,

I’m dying

I don’t think I still want to live…
