Dear Society
Dear society,
I remember you often warned me
“Don’t grow up to fast” you’d say
“You’ll have to get a job,
There’ll be a million bills to pay”
So I was very careful
And tried to remain small
But here I am in junior year
With little room to fall
Or maybe I should say instead
There’s little room to fail
As my whole entire future
Revolves around a grading scale
I don’t know what I want to be
When I inevitably turn eighteen
But the square root of i is one
(Whatever the hell that means)
I guess you could say I’m smart
And I’ve almost made it through
But I don’t know where I’m going
So what good does that do?
Something wrong with this poem?
