My "Friend" College

I told myself if I was to ever write a poem it would be about you College Oh , The unbearable fascination I have for you . The days on end when I stare at you hoping and praying for your acceptance. “I got in” Its not like you owe me anything anyway . Our friendship is based on how I behaved in previous relationships… Intuitions , private schools , public schools , extracurricular activities , attendance ….. And I hate it . Why do I have to always do things for you? Why can’t you just be grateful and accept that its 2 a.m and I can’t seem to get you out of my head “I still need 11 thousand” I have to finish my journalism paper by six , send off my transcripts by nine , and fill out scholarships to cover the cost of you just being my friend!!!! “I have to resubmit to Turnitin again?” I wanted to call Sallie Mae , but I heard she was no better friend. You have my whole future in your hand!!!! “You really just don’t understand….” I’m writing my first poem just so I can have money to spend time with you You provide counselors but I want to confide in you Tell you thank you for changing my life and making me experience something new And all you gave me was a congratulations letter and when money for registration was due. “Umm, thank you”
