i used to think i was intelligent and life would be easy and predictably along the way i learned how different things would be
medication and indoor recess with children "just like me"
getting picked last in sports
assigned to group work and losing in spelling bees
between medication and fear of failure i said its better to not compete
two decades zooted off college kid's pills i recognize crumbling dreams
out in the back by the lake trees and grass the first time i smoked weed i showed up high to class feeling normal at last till i bombed 40 tests and my dad kicked my ass i dropped out of high school to learn shit that's cooler than sucking dick of people better than you or me
shotgunning beers quickly after life filled with friends laughter and minimum wage for busting my ass and failing my midterms and skipping my classes applying for jobs i will never hear back from and now i can't sleep unless i've had 6 drinks
it hurts to be, what`s worse, im free, i cant sleep, unless ive had 6 drinks,
whats worse, all this shit`s on me
