Honestly


To my peers, I am the entertaining cynic

To my family, I am the good-natured eldest

To my teachers, I am the laziest of the top 10%

To strangers, I am the frown on their face.

Personally, I think I am all of these things.

I am devoted, loyal, peaceful, a friend

I am apathetic, spiteful, vengeful, an enemy

But most of all

I am just a kid trying to pay for his college tuition.
