waking up in the morning was hell
i nearly missed my alarm which sucked
i fucked up my makeup
my perfectly straightened hair is already frizzy
and my clothes suddenly don't fit properly
i guess you could say i was a major pessimist whenever it was time for the sun to rise
as my mom chirped happy words in my ear they sounded like my obituary
at the bus stop i was reacquainted with an old friend
three others joined usa relatable conversation about how lost we all were put an ease to my worried stomach
at we boarded the bus i couldn't help but think that i may actually have a group of friends
i would belong
little that I know that one from our group would joint the football team never to be seen around us again
another would find her way to the girls with a flawless demeanor
the last would venture towards the baseball team
and my old friend and i would be left to find our wayit sucks that she would end up leaving me too
