cereal

I had went to sleep late,
I went to sleep at 12 o'clock,
So that left me with only five hours of sleep,
I had a test the next day,
But that was not even on my mind

What was on my mind though,
Was if my friends were going to be okay,
If my friends were alright at home,
I didn't care about the endless yawns,
Or my droopy eyes

I didn't care about the notes
That weren't going to be written
Because I fell asleep in class
I cared about if my friends were happy

So the following morning came,
And I looked a mess going to school,
But I mean my life was a mess,
So it doesn't really matter right?
And my bus came kinda late so
I had to walk fast if I wanted to get the cereal

I dont know, its weird but,
Having those froot loops
Was somehow, something that,
Made me feel better

Kinda like when you like a guy,
And he says hi to you and your whole mood
Goes from bad to okay,
Its like that

So I hurried, and I was about to
Walk in the cafeteria to get my cereal,
When i got a message,
She said to come right away

In that moment, it was either
Go to see if she was okay,
Or get the froot loops,
And I decided to go, and see if
My friend was alright,
Because that is just how I am

She was crying her eyes out,
And I told her this is the way life is,
You just have to keep moving forward,
Because eventually everything will be okay

When lunch came, I was going to
Get myself a chicken sandwich,
Since I didn't get any cereal
I was standing in line when a friend,
Had asked if I could help her
With some homework

I asked if I could get my food first,
But she said she really didn't have much time,
She said her work needed to be done like now

So guess what I did,
I never really got that chicken sandwich,
But hey, my friend got that C+
So that should be good enough

I had went home,
Trying to figure out why
I was so sad, I was trying to
Find a good enough reason
For why I felt this deep sadness
Inside of me, for why
I was trying not to scream out loud

In frustration, I went to my kitchen
And pulled out a knife,
Because honestly at this point,
I was ready to end my life

But then I got a call,
From him, so I thought to myself,
Should i answer and see what he
Has to say or should I
Hang up, and continue to
Pull that blade across my wrist,
And my throat

I dropped the knife and I answered,
My throat burned so bad as my,
Voice had cracked when i said hello
He asked "Are you okay?"
I said "I'm fine, what's up?"

And he told me, his mother had
Took his dog to the pound,
They were basically going to
"put him down"

He continued to talk about his dog,
When it was almost time for me,
To eat dinner, there was only
Two mini pizzas left, so I let
My two sisters have them, and i had shrimp noodles for dinner

Then I was going
To work on homework,
But my friend called me,
Said she needed to rant to me,
Now its 11:30 and I'm so sleepy

So yeah I wake up the next day
And I only have 15 minutes,
To brush my teeth, wash my face,
Put clothes on and do my hair,
Then run to the bus stop

I barely make it onto the bus,
And i go to school, ready to eat my froot loops, so I get in line,
And get my cereal,
Start heading to class when
My friend said she hasn't eaten all night
