Last years of high school, and I haven’t even peeped the pool,
Not the coolest, not the hottest, guess I’m just a fool.
All these white chicks walk by, don’t even bat an eye,
I’m just blending in the background, asking myself why.

Academically, still stuck in a loop,
Trying to keep afloat, but I’m drowning in the group.
No one’s here to call my name,
Still waiting on the day I’ll break out from this game.

I don't have a man, I don’t have a queen,
No one to hold, no one to be seen.
Can’t make ‘em laugh or make ‘em moan,
Just a pile of student loans,
I’m just here, I’m just alone.

I look at the blade
with my arms ready
red lines everywhere
blood dripping down like little lakes
flowing through the crevices
until they meet
if I cut the wrong vein someday
all the rivers will amalgamate into a matrix of red ocean
