the words hung in my mind like a static storm cloud.
they followed me, stalked me, haunted me.
they chimed and echoed in my mind like a
shrill school bell.honors student.
they followed every one of my choices.
they put every doubt into my mind.honors student.
i was praised over it, envied over it,
but all i ever wanted was out.
they've embedded a lifetime of self hatred into me.
i never learned what i really wanted.honors student.
i don't know who the hell i am,
except that i'm an
honors student.
