School
School, something I kill myself even more for.
Staying up late hoping to get all A's.
Who knew a letter from the alphabet could signify a person's worth.
The weekends go by fast,
Finally sleeping because I didn't get the chance,
Finally breathing because I couldn't catch my breath.
I used to love school.
I loved the words of affirmation and encouragement.
Now that I'm older I don't get that anymore.
Wallowing in my tears,
Hoping no one hears.
If only they knew,
If only they knew,
That's really the only thing circling through.
But I must keep going,
To satisfy them all,
I'll keep going I Guess.
Maybe one day my blood with show through.
