They say high school is the most important period of your life
Where did I go wrong then? I must've got a rotten slice of cake
My face has been the same since the beginning of my pain
The four years I have spent here have felt so pointless since I found out you weren't stayin'
Everywhere I go I'm trudging through a lake of water
I am so sick of hearing "what college do you plan on going to?"
Do you honestly think that's the most important of value?
What about my metal health? The seat belt that was supposed to keep me safe has flown away
Every single day here I have felt worthless, just another number to keep you guys high on the chart
I'm some kind of art to you, you think you can make me into a shape that you can use at your disposal
Here's my proposal: I'm glad I'm leaving, this place has kept me in a constant state of negativity, I have been drained of all sensitivity
I have tried to give my opinion and be different, but every time I tried you pushed me faster down this slide
I reside in a muddy, rainy place
And everyday when I try and get the residue off my face, I fall further and further into this stained disgrace that I left on my page when I was having a shitty day
At least this paper I write on almost every day listens more than any of you ever could anyway
I just wish you could have taken more time to understand what's going on inside my mind, but sadly all you cared about was what college I had in mind, and the easier mountain to climb
This is it, my graduation, now make sure to actually pay attention
This is one of the only times you'll ever actually care about something meaningful in my life
