Teaspoon /ˈtēˌspo͞on/

Well, just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have

I used to say that to everyone

inspired by the character

wanting to be her

strong and smart

the first metaphor I fell in love with

the one I measure all others against

true literary gold

the world is its dictionary definition

I used to write essays on nothing and everything

now I just write nothing

 

nothing
noth·​ing ˈnə-thiŋ 

not at all; in no degree
something that does not exist
the absence of all magnitude or quantity
someone or something of no or slight value or size
a light, playful, or frivolous remark

of no account; worthless

 

I've got a teaspoon

and an emotional range overflowing it

feeling is good?

Then why does it

                                                                                            hurt /hərt/

    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

     

  • 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

  • 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
