Jumping Hurdles

By

School is the only thing I can talk about anymore

This thing's swallowed up my whole life

And I'm not studious
I am only a student
Assigned to climb Mt. Vesuvius
And it's tedious
And it's ludicrous

And I don't plan to climb mountains later
But should I be listening to myself?
Or this thing the teacher's telling me?
That I should "try out for the school play
Because it's the only place where you can be yourself"

And Iv'e been getting so afraid lately
To do all of these things I thought I had gotten comfortable doing
And Iv'e been finding it a lot harder to talk to people

And it makes no sense

I thought I had beaten it.

But I don't know anymore.

School is the only thing I can talk about anymore
