College Journey
18 years of wasted paper
Wasted paper is used on worthless worksheets
Worksheets turn into dark tests
In college tests are all the grades you get.
Getting in is just the mourning struggle
Struggling for money
Money might come from grades
Grades decide your entrance and what's next
But what if what's next isn't school?
Relationships are all that matter now
But now friendships will soon fade
Fade away slowly
Slowly the voices spread raging gossip and drama through the halls
But in college the halls are one building.
Getting up everyday to see scheming familiar faces
Familiar faces then don't start to talk
Talking in class only happens from the teacher now
And now you have nobody to ask for the answers.
We have to go every morning 7:25 am
7:25 am is when we go to sleep
Sleeping is for the weak
The weak don't do homework
Homework is what keeps you awake
Awake in the moonlight of misery.
What do you do?
Do you continue this journey to a cliff
A cliff to jump off of and run away
Away from your tangy problems
Problems that will only get worse
Worse and worse.
What do you do?
Do you continue this journey of college
Journey of pain and change
Either way
That piece of wasted paper
Is the paper that determines it all.
