I wake up with the regret of last night
I look in the mirror and pretend I am alright
Alright with who I am and where I stand
I drive to school, so blissfully ignorant, like a goddamn fool
I walk to my first class
I walk and the same faces I past
Cheerfully fake hellos and smiles are exchanged
But for what because each day nothing is changed
As I take my seat I feel it start to sink in
The terrible feeling starts to begin
Inadquicity starts to fill my brain
These cold concrete floors are an ocean and the water begins to swell
Life jackets are earned and I’m here drowning which I know all too well
Maybe it is something in my blood stream
Maybe my life is just a bad dream
That I cannot seem to awaken
I drown in silence, no action is taken
I agree to every pleading plea
Yes is the universal answer
I say this and they see a dancer
You say I’m not trying hard enough
I try but my efforts go unnoticed
I am not arrogant this is my honest plea
I truly gave you every part of me
My tries were never good enough
You fought and I tried to play though
But I guess I lost with the score 10 to 3
I’m so sorry you saw so much of a light of potential in me.
