Bees
October 30, 2018
I envy the busy bee
No one questions you
Watching you buzz from flower to flower
We acknowledge your business is true
However, I’m not a bee
I’m a high school student
Who is being unraveled by life and study
Like a string from a spool
Not like the bee, regardless of my business
Those uninvolved tell me how
Without the slightest hint of honey in their voices
I’ve got it easy now
