After being in school
For most of my life
Since the age of 6-22
There was a structure
A pattern that you obeyed
After graduating college
That pattern ended abruptly
Causing confusion and anxiety
Wondering what to do next
Most find a job to pass the time
Learning a new pattern to live by
Some go back to school
But it’s not quite the same
There seems to be no pattern anymore
No structure
Just deadlines
And endless stress building up
Until you crack under pressure
Desperately finding your stride
Once more but feeling lost
Or excluded from the rest
Unable to find your way back
To the pattern that you need
To obey
