First day of summer
The flames lick the wood, yet it does not catch fire / A drop of water occasionally falls from the leaves above, still wet from yesterday's rain. / Headphones cover the ears of a girl who is tired of listening

Stress
Each passing day is spent / With an early awakening / Followed by another morning realizing nothing fits right

Too Good
Lately I've been chasing an impossible dream. / The dream that things actually work out. / I've had my taste of what life could be like,

Words
I have so much to say that I fear if I let myself talk / word will just spill out like a never ending river / Whether anyone listens doesn't matter

Sorry sorry sorry
All I ever want to do is make you smile / I'm so sorry for bringing up a painful past

This is a rant against a pointless system
The more you understand how school works, and not just like "ew, I don't like homework" the more you realize what a scam it is. You work for grades, that doesn't even show if you actually understand the subject. And then you have to learn a TON of stuff you seriously will never use. I understand music, English, biology(for me because of doctor stuff) and math(to a very certain degree) and speech and Spanish. / However, we have to learn stuff about parabolas which you only use if you are an engineer or scientist(maybe) and then we waste hours of our life just sitting in a classroom and studying instead of bring out in the world making a difference, which is what I want to do. / And grades... If someone gets c or a b are they stupid? Maybe they just knew they would never use this Information and didn't try, being smart and living instead of wasting hours if their short life. Parents know that grades aren't good measurements, and yet they put so much emphasis on them! Because they, *** this is so stupid, they DETERMINE our whole future!!!! Why aren't we worrying about the kids in drugs and *** and in gangs??? But no, we have to worry for your future that you got a b on a test.

Who knows
Maybe someday I'll figure myself out / Emerge from this muddled state of mind / With some form of understanding

Pointless stress
Why worry about what other people think about you / She the only opinion that matters is your own on yourself / Just be the best you can on your own and whoever can't handle that

Completely untitled
We never really need to know everything about a person / Their deepest worries, their darkest secrets, their most personal emotions. / And yet we spend so much of our time trying to find all his out

Symphony of words
I want to be able to write a symphony, / something that touches the hearts of others, / something so beautiful you want to be a part of it.
