I'm not supposed of experienced this much death at this young of an age

My graduating class has gotten smaller

My friend's brother is gone

Both of my grandpas

My friend's papa

I'm too familiar with funerals

Will it ever stop?

Everyone is getting sick

In the hospital

What am I supposed to do?

How am I supposed to cope with this?

There's too much pressure

From school

The world

People's expectations of me

I don't know how I'm gonna pull through

Once I graduate it'll be over

Once I go to college it'll be ok

Once

It'll never stop

I don't know what's next

What's going to become of me?

How am I supposed to be my own self without the world judging me?

Who do I listen to?

The people who are more accepted by society?

The people who don't look "disturbed"

The people who it looks like they have it all together?

I don't like them

They scare me

How can someone put on such a show?

They must lose them self somewhere along the way

Why must they drag other people with them?

They must have this look

This style

This lingo

Or they aren't good enough

Why does it matter

It's all gonna end one day

None of this will matter

No one will remember

No one will be alive to remember

We'll all be the same in the end

No differences

No segregation

No racism

We will all be one

All there for the same reason

Same purpose

And it will be glorious
