2.5

Grades are tanking

hope is failing

I am a pile of busywork and small talk

a job I need to pay for my dream

a dream I've given up on

it's safer to give up than to pursue

pursuing hurts more than it's worth

you ask if I'll do it?

I won't right now because I forgot what I fell in love with

love fades

and I forgot who I am

I'm fading

I'm scared so I'm running away

and I feel lonely and left out

2.5

I really thought I had it

but I guess I never did

or maybe nothing ever stuck

except the hurt

  • When you're scared

    When you're scared you stop doing things you love

    because you don't know what's next

    and I've been thinking so far ahead

    getting so competitive

    I forgot what it's all about

     

  • Number crunching

    Time crunch of number crunching

    calculators I didn't know we could use

    a packet I'm so screwed for 

    a teacher who doesn't teach

    I have never been this panicked

    meltdown mode
