i want to leave.

yelling to the clock
will only pass time
quicker,
and these splinters
in our eyes
will only sink deeper.

don't drink the water
here, everyone
is drowning.
but that's what
they want-
not fresh air.

fuck. this.

college

I have resigned
to the fact that
I am wasting my time.
college is a joke.
a bad joke that
my uncle tells
every time
he sees me.
I'm paying
thousands
thousands
for what?
for a piece of paper
signed
by a woman
I hate.
for a job
behind
a counter?
fuck
that.
I won't do it.
I am better than that.
I am better than you.
I am better than myself.
I won't do it.
