College
A Scam
What is the point of going?
A degree?
What is that?
2:50 in the morning.
Sight is blurry
Stomach growling
I’m losing hope
Stupid jokes are my only source of energy
My fault
It is all my fault
“Homework before napping.”
My new mantra,
Until it isn’t anymore
As I contemplate my decisions, what comes to mind is a burger.
A burger.
My savior,
Oh how I love you so
With your toasted buns and tender meat.
But all hope is lost,
I am broke.
Broke,
Money,
A job I don’t have.
A job I can only achieve through a degree and experience,
Neither, I have.
I apply
I apply
“We’ll get back to you soon.”
They don’t.
Never have I heard such a lie that could also mean goodbye.
The paper
The magic paper
That grants those the ability to live their life.
Until that flimsy stupid piece of paper is within my grasp,
I am stuck in this wretched place.
College is a scam,
But then again
here I am.
