i’m sitting in study hall
going about my day
suffering silently
because that’s what normally happens.

anyway
i’m sitting in study hall
just thinking
and
minds should come with
warning labels
don’t you think?

because i’m thinking about my life
thinking about my future
thinking about right now
and how hard it’s going to be
to continue like this

to continue
in my life
suffering silently

i’m a parrot in
a world
filled with sparrows.

a human
in a world
filled with zombies
waiting for me to come out
so they can attack

i’m silently trying
to stay alive,
i’m silently hoping
for a better future.
but hope is scarce,
and life is hard
so i’m losing hope
