College Notes

i wrote this right b4 i dropped out of school

Looking through what was supposed

To be my college notes

On the back pages of linear equations

Were old songs, and poems I wrote

 

 Daydreaming in class day after day

Just trying to make it

Seemed like the only way

 

Feeling like screaming

Instead just writing it down

Recording lyrics and harmonies

In my head

 -without making a sound

Then to the stage

Where the crowd would be amazed

But before they could scream my name

 I’m instantly brought back to my page

 

The words of the instructor

Going through one ear and out the other

Wasting my time

Cause in my mind

I will never use

What they choose to teach

Irrelevant to all of the things

Impossible dreams

That I plan to reach

 

 Tolerating this tediousness

While time teases and taunts

Giving in to this anxiousness
 Realizing this is not what I want

 At last class is over

I have to put down my pen

Don’t think I can wake up tomorrow

To do this all over again

 

It’s just too hard to pretend

 

It’s more than boredom

Almost postmortem    

Such a convenient
cop-out

For a seemingly serial
dropout

I've been in college for 4 years now (this is my 4th year). If you want to re-enroll then go for it. You have nothing to lose and a whole lot to gain.

Good poem
