I'm supposed to be studying for Sociology,
But instead I'm researching the best ways to affect change without having to learn political policies.

I should have eaten lunch,
But I chose a two hour conversation with an old teacher who thinks I'm a genius, but my hopeless cause can't be won.

I should not smoke,
But I love the relief it brings me in this world that thinks humanity is a joke.

I should have grown up happy and well adjusted,
But my parents were not in love with each other, just the "American Dream" they naively trusted.

I should feel love in every atom on this earth,
Instead I feel the vibrations of energy that puts itself into greed, power, and lust to determine self-worth.
