I wish I could write some verses that wouldn't make me so delirious and hate myself
A place I could feel safe instead of being on the verge of getting kicked out without a sign
Somewhere that encloses my eloquence and freezes in history
A place where my thoughts are more than if I rhyme

My being should matter more than all elements intertwined for I am priceless in the sense of when I die you will see what's missing and try your very best to fill that gap to the defined edges I carved till the end of time
Because there is no way to know what life will throw at us and how to prepare if arduous students fail because they aren't taught what actually matters like how not to commit a crime
We learn not for school but for life yet our life is school and school defines who we will be a man or a tree in the erratic society we believe

It just isn't fair are the thoughts of everybody regardless of what they have for we were built to be ungrateful for what's missing than what's actually there
We are blinded by the greed of wanting more instead of seeing the beauty of what's standing right in front of us
We do anything to get what we want
Lie cheat beg steal
As worthless as that stolen drink
We are the ones defining how people think
We say society is messed up....
