Lights hung from the ceilings
Posters plastered on the walls
Heavy curtains to block in the light

Beds dressers desks and chairs
Books papers lamps and clothes
All mingle into a home
HOME?!?
How Why When Where What!?!

I can’t live here
This place makes you crazy they say
I’m not crazy
Am I?

The man inside my head says no
The man outside my head says no
The man outside my world screams yes

MY WORLD?!?
When did this happen?
Why am I here?
Oh yeah—I have to get into a great college
And make my family look good in the process
So they send me here.

Great so I’ll go insane
And crack from the pressure

For what?
A fabulous degree from some hotshot school
Who really cares? Really.

I just want to be gone.
Somewhere happy
Like home with

Lights hung from the ceilings
Posters plastered to the walls
And no curtains to block in the light
Like home with MY
Bed dresser desk and chair
Books papers lamps and clothes

And no pressure
And a good degree from a decent school
And sanity.
