I never had many friends I was always late to school Ate lunch alone Maintained grades pretty well Graduated Lived at the same place Moved schools to a 3 year middle time Became captain on a basketball team Maintained grades pretty well Heart Broken They took my dreams They threw them down Past my knees and below my feet No school no school no school Good grades and school dreams shot down From there even after some injuries I went downhill Like I did when I gained a concussion I fell and smacked the floor Point blank like a gun at a shooting range High school in black and white No friends and only anxiety attacks No more sports teams or good grades Skipping class my attendance was doomed Moving along as if hurdles were in my way Hospitalized twice and almost once before Scarred waist and black decay Tear stains throughout the night When I could only lay awake Words trapped inside, my mouth a cage Summer smoking gone by now in 10th grade Two attempts Sleeping day and night No attendance period throughout the day Grades and mind slain Semesters slipping away like life Passed one regents of which previously I failed Grades go in I start trying again I attend full fledged new meds Passing grades like a miracle Slowly falling behind Broken thoughts along the night Slipping away like the shadows in the light Stopped going to school again But why? I feel no pain No grades nor attendance No improvement no getting out of bed The meds aren't helping I only feel, there are no thoughts in my head Ruining my future must repeat 10th grade Getting worse no emotions Going back to the way I was before No friends no trust Regret fills my veins people are going away They must know that I'm not immune to all pain

I never had many friends I was always late to school Ate lunch alone Maintained grades pretty well Graduated Lived at the same place Moved schools to a 3 year middle time Became captain on a basketball team Maintained grades pretty well Heart Broken They took my dreams They threw them down Past my knees and below my feet No school no school no school Good grades and school dreams shot down From there even after some injuries I went downhill Like I did when I gained a concussion I fell and smacked the floor Point blank like a gun at a shooting range High school in black and white No friends and only anxiety attacks No more sports teams or good grades Skipping class my attendance was doomed Moving along as if hurdles were in my way Hospitalized twice and almost once before Scarred waist and black decay Tear stains throughout the night When I could only lay awake Words trapped inside, my mouth a cage Summer smoking gone by now in 10th grade Two attempts Sleeping day and night No attendance period throughout the day Grades and mind slain Semesters slipping away like life Passed one regents of which previously I failed Grades go in I start trying again I attend full fledged new meds Passing grades like a miracle Slowly falling behind Broken thoughts along the night Slipping away like the shadows in the light Stopped going to school again But why?
