My life revolves around my education
And I feel as if I am drowning ever so slowly
In a sea filled with numbers and letters that I try to not think define me
But at the end of the day, it's all that counts
I am scared for my future,
Font of my past,
Afraid to even come close to my fate
I feel like the bittersweet taste of life has left my senses
And I am left with a stale taste that lingers on my tongue
A taste full of uphills with no down hill,
Of failure and stupidity
I tell myself that I can rise above and beyond
But that is also suggesting that I achieve the impossible
They say it doesn't define you
But they are all telling you what you want to hear
In hopes to make you feel better
But how will your mind flourish
If they make you think that you are perfect
When clearly, you are not?
