I Will Be Remembered

November 22, 2013

Wake up, dread life, off to school

I can feel them staring

All I want is to fit in

I buy the brand names

the designer frames

still nothing

Can't you realize I'm right here?

The teacher doesn't even remember my name

Why should I care?

Soon I'll be remembered

With a degree

And a family that cares

Soon I'll be remembered

Soon
