• School is starting up

    And things couldn’t be any better
    No, seriously.
    I mean, my self-esteem is going
    Through the roof.
    I wonder if any of these girls are
    In need of a friend.

    Who knows?
    Maybe this year everything will be different.
    Of course, that’s only if you have the right friend.
    Which is pretty darn impossible these days
    What with the back stabbing
    And the gossip.

    He said, she said.
    Whatever you call it, it hurts.
    I should know. I’ve been striving since 7th grade
    To know if people have been talking about
    Me. So have other people I know.

    But hey.
    Maybe high school won’t be so bad.
    Now, to find and sit next to somebody called
    Trust Me.








    Remember what I said in the last page?

    Well, forget that hope I had.
    That optimism.
    That excitement.
    I was obviously being delusional.

    I mean, c’mon. Why in the world would I expect
    High school to be simple, drama free?
    It was ridiculous. And now, because of that optimism,
    I’m in this mess. I was too excited. I jinxed it.

    With the excited person that I am, I set myself up
    For the depression I had. I clouded up my image
    Of high school with happy, excited thoughts.
    And now, I managed to kick myself with it.

    Most people would say it wasn’t my fault,
    That TV and the media often tries to make school
    More brilliant, to try to get students to stay in there.
    Well tv, you just shot yourself in the arm, because I want
    To leave school now. I have no desire to stay in school after
    What transpired, and I’m pretty sure 50% of the students in
    My school would be better off without it.

    And you’re wondering, no I did not
    Find Trust Me, and by now, I’m thinking
    Trust doesn’t exist.
