All I take

is the air I breathe

I pay for my food and utilities

yet still

I run through highschool hallways

and I wish I knew their joys

almost as much as I wish that they would say their pains

yet I know

I can provide them a little direction

yet they deny me

too bad

I’m still glad they're happy in their high

highschoolness

thier little glees on worksheets

thier pretty goals on tests as the groan

man their world is so harsh and pretty

I just wish they’d listen to the signs

of a harsh awakening

yet still I grin cause

cause well

they’re having fun
