I died drowning Drowning like the rest of America Trying to breathe under the numbers All of them telling us that we're failures I died drowning It was more so a ****** than an unfortunate event I blame society Piling papers and statistics on teens and the to be's We're shoved into school at the age of 3 For that I blame you I blame you for my death The air was extracted from my lungs All 78% of nitrogen and 21% of oxygen Geometry fried my brain at exactly 112 degrees Physics pushed me off a cliff and I accelerate by 9.81 m/s World History murdered me with every war and battle English killed me just like every author Band beat me to death like a drum Weightlifting dropped 225 lbs on my throat The play acted out all of my deaths I didn't die just drowning I was beaten, burned, shot, choked, mocked and everything in between. I was murdered and I am still living I am here to convict the killers They say it takes a village to raise a kid But what does it take to **** one?

Like The Rest of America
