LIFE

(Verse 1) The school was supposed to challenge me, But communication lacked, it wasn't meant to be. On a call with Josh, at Chemeketa's gate, Abruptly hung up, left me to fate. Needed clarification, dialed the line, Rang six times, no answer, not a sign. Voicemail echoed, no voice to hear, Anger surged, disappointment near. (Chorus) This school, not meant for me, Couldn't do my dad proud, can't you see? Problems caused by college's embrace, Left me feeling lost, in a vast space. (Verse 2) Tried my tricks, but couldn't adapt, High school memories, now just a gap. Stressed, mistreated, I understand now, Why some drop out, it's a heavy vow. School made me doubt, lost belief in self, Life's path twisted, like books on a shelf. Hate how it's turned, this life of mine, Inner signals mixed, a discordant line. (Chorus) Don't trust the school, that's what I've learned, Fear, panic, repeat, it's how they've churned. Life's hard, but shouldn't drag you down, Won't feel this pain, won't wear this frown. (Bridge) Starting therapy, to heal and mend, Fix my stomach, on that I'll depend. Life's too short, to hate it all, Time to rise, time to stand tall. (Verse 3) Anxiety's grip, at work it holds, Sharing less, secrets it unfolds. Quitting socials, a bold decree, Discord's my haven, where I'll be. Miss our group, since graduation's past, Sorry for the mess, the pain amassed. Want to be me, back in stride, Embracing growth, with happiness as my guide. (Chorus) Periodic shifts, happiness and gloom, In my head's chamber, a constant room. Not worth the sadness, this I decree, Anxiety's reign, it's time to break free. (Outro) No April Fool's jest, this is my vow, To find my peace, starting now. Goodnight to all, love's my parting sound, Done with the rant, on solid ground.
