Why, why are you doing this why are you here
If you don't even care don't stay, just disappear
How many of you can say, you'll be good after Highschool
That your life won't constantly spin just like a whirlpool
That you've studied enough to consume enough knowledge
Comprehending what you need to goto college
Can you say that you're not living a life that's just a mirage
Hiding beyond your self trying to be like camouflage
Can you say you've filled your life without all the regret
Living everyday working off an unpaid debt
Can you say you'll survive making $1200 a month
When the landlord demands for 550 up front?
How about when it comes to paying for the medical bill
5000 dollars for a check up and a simple oxycodone pill
Not only that you have another overdue car payment
Now you're looking for someplace with better employment
Can you really say you're tough enough to survive
Now let's add another, a baby boy at the age of 5
Asking why his mom or dad isn't there to give him love
Drinking away to find memories you try to get rid of
Can you really say that you're ready to live on your own
Hoping you can offer your kid a better place to call home
Do you even care where your live is going to go
Or are you going to shake this off and just follow the flow
You want things handed to you, with only minimum work.
You don't understand how it feels to move like clockwork
You smile, you laugh, you ignore what you will need
Just nodding your head, constantly you'll just agree
You're going to be an adult with no skills at all
You refuse to read, refuse to draw, you refuse to do anything in all
You are stuck in a fake life that you're used to liven
Just another lost lazy kid without a vivid vision
Your life will be over with before you even get bitten
Lost in society because you stayed in the back hidden
Then you blame education for not keeping you driven
So you live your life trying to go around the system
So what's the point in trying to fulfill and finish your education
If you can't even push yourself past your simplest limitations
So take what you want from this, do what you prefer
All I ask of you is to think of this poem and understand the words
This was a poem made to speak to those in highschool who say, "I can make it on my own".
