Everyday is an early morning.
you wake up at 6am,
you rush to get ready,
you miss breakfast,
you think you're on time,
but you just run into traffic.
& as you are running into school,
just 30 seconds late.
you see that damn front desk lady
that gives you that annoying look
that you just want to slap off her face.
Being forced to sign in,
getting ANOTHER tardy.
Even though you beat your teacher to class?
thats not right.
no.
After 10 tardies all together,
they give you a SATURDAY SCHOOL?
where you sit in a damn classroom doing absolutely nothing
for 4 freaking hours?
You’re kidding me right?
Nope.
& whats even better,
they take your parking pass away from you
after you paid $50 just to park in a damn parking spot
thats like a “mile” away from the doors.
And little do they know, OR care,
your life is a disaster,
you have family problems.
& you are having so much trouble waking up on time
because you work almost everyday to pay
for all your things yourself.
AND WHAT THEY DONT KNOW,
You have cried yourself to sleep because your life
is so messed up and you are only 18 years old.
