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".
