like a sea of fish
i begin the endless cycle
walking the endless halls
and my fingernails tap tap tap
on my cold blue locker
trying to find the right words to say
and the right face to make
and the right way to walk
to speak
to be.
because it's about living up to the expectations
to the social conformities that exist in this place
and my fingers twitch and my eyes sting
but no matter what it keeps going
repeat repeat repeat
like a song on a playlist that has been
shoved through your head so many times that
it become vexatious
except here's the twist
there's no pause button in life
so i keep moving along
gasping for air in the water.
none of this shows
because then
i would be labeled
and
sorted like a character in a
cliche highschool
in a movie
so i turn the lock
and get my things
and i walk
and walk
until my legs hurt
but i don't feel it and
its just another thing
on the list of things
that make me numb to feeling
so i close my eyes
and like a sea of fish
i continue the endless cycle.

A/N- this chapter absolutely suCks and i hate it but ummmm i couldn't think of anything better so oh well, the next one will hopefully be an improvement. i hoped to capture the emotions of a lot of people who (unfortunately) reside in the terrible place called middle/high school and try to relate to those feeling. i hope u liked it.
A/N #2- what do u do when u want to do something really bad but are too afraid. Do you do it/say it or hold your silence? I don't know if that makes sense.
love u lots xx
