for some reason, whenever anyone tells me i am something negative
that i don't try, that i'm pessimistic, that i don't quite fit in
I just feel the need to prove them right
the name they give me becomes a sheild
you want bitch, i'll give you bitch
you want apathy, i'll put on the show
in storytelling today,i got the note
"you don't seem too invested in this class-i really hope that changes"
and so of course, since i couldn't change, i just made the difference even more blaring
i glared off into space while everyone else was laughing
i played with my hair, kept my voice so silent, counted down the minutes
I think i wanted to hurt her, show she couldn't be the one to "save" me, have that plaque on her imaginary wall
I cou;dn't ler her think she understands, that all i neede was a little attention
People never realize that i notice everytime i make a mistake
there are so few accidents in terms of my growing up
they think they are helping, but really
it just makes me fight even harder to keep the control
when you are 17, you are not even allowed to have principles
no matter how much i believe in writing or music, is still have to do my homework
even though i know school is not that important, that in ten years i won't even remember the grade i got in ap statistics, i still have to follow the system
in a marxist lense, i am the status quo
good grades means college means money means happiness
just a bunch of simple blended equations
and who knows, maybe it works
i mean, i'm not even a quarter into the average lifespan
maybe eventually, i will find the freedom i keep fighting for
maybe on the other end, it all evens out
so i'll keep my fingers crossed, keep reading the textbooks
because the future is all i have to look forward to
Woah! Yeah! Baby!
