You listen to the sounds of cars driving by, of mediocrity that you try to escape and you're drowning. you wonder how you'll ever leave. this place, this dark place, this joyless place is slowly fading your colors. you once were so vibrant. you find yourself compromising your dreams. you find yourself substituting your sparkle for the mediocrity they handed you the mediocrity they served on a plate they shoved down your throat and force fed you. the mediocrity you've come to accept and you listen to cars driving by and you're drowning. When the air doesn't make it to your Brain anymore. When your Lungs fill with the sickly sweet syrup of mediocrity you dream of leaving.
