What do I even want?
My worldview changed 2 months ago
I realized I couldn't afford grad school
Since then my brain has been aflame
Looking for jobs, scholarships,
ANYTHING
I should have a real job
But that actually doesn't pay?!?
I can get a scholarship
Yeah, and compete with thousands
I could be a sugar baby
You couldn't deal with the shame
And now
Do I even want to go anymore?
It's all futile nonsense
The nurtured dreams of changing the world?
There's no money to train for that
And you'll make no money in doing that
You work, you get kids, you move to the suburbs, you read them cute books and encourage them to have a career just like you but BETTER.
Until they look back after thousands in tuition and realize that
The degree they got in how to save the world?
Hardly pays more than McDonalds
Maybe I don't want to save this world
Maybe it doesn't want to be saved
