Borderline


Till you come in Last

All your mates graduate

from a school that you didnt even participate

IN wait-ing to exhale but you too busy inha-ling

Taking in the world and watch it pass you by

everybody moving forward and your mother wondering why 

her child that she sacrificed everything for can't even go

to school because "It's a bore"?

Bor-derline failing bordeline anticipating 

borderline options Yes,No.and Maybe

I was that girl that fell of that line

but was picked back up and wound up just fine
