All I Need


All I need...

Is for everyone to shut the fuck up.
College this,
Scholarship that.

Do I just pull the money out of my ass?
Sell my left kidney?

I don’t understand
Making too much,
But not enough.

How do I choose
When any choice will leave
Me six feet - underground
Under a patch of dry dirt.


Just kidding,
Sorry for the harsh words.

Sorry for not trying
enough.

Sorry for trying
to enjoy my high school life.

Sorry for trying
to do the things I wanted to.
