sitting in the nurse's office to avoid class
my head hurts from thinking too much
leaves running after each other outside the window
why can't i be that free?
i just ruined another thing
got yelled at by a friend
accused of something i didn't do
but my protesting didn't work
the leaves are still falling
they're scattered on the ground
scattered like raindrops from my eyes
the road up to the school is painted with leaves
the cracks in the pavement are just the scars the world bears
can't you see the cracks in me?
now i'm afraid to touch everything i see
afraid to ruin another thing
i'll just leave
