Once I lived like Like a stream of water Flowing down a river like a gust of wind Breezing through the hallway my mom always said "don't let the school pass through you ,pass through the school" I lived like a useless prop I was this planets décor I simply existed That wasn’t right I demanded to be known to be more than a prop I was done NAY I was more than done The era was over I wasn’t a loose floorboard people stepped on And it would creek I wanted to be “people” And that I became I was bold I was loud I occupied I no longer breezed by I WAS by I became a known wanted presence I felt like I had an achievement And that I had finally I got the recognition i longed for the one i deserved and just like that i stopped existing and begun living .

The day I stopped existing
Once I lived like Like a stream of water Flowing down a river like a gust of wind Breezing through the hallway my mom always said "don't let the school pass through you ,pass through the school" I lived like a useless prop I was this planets décor I simply existed That wasn’t right I demanded to be known to be more than a prop I was done NAY I was more than done The era was over I wasn’t a loose floorboard people stepped on And it would creek I wanted to be “people” And that I became I was bold I was loud I occupied I no longer breezed by I WAS by I became a known wanted presence I felt like I had an achievement And that I had finally I got the recognition i longed for the one i deserved and just like that i stopped existing and begun living .
