Tonight I am empty
tearing apart frat boys trying to lay a girl
defacing academic buildings
walkin with tim
being a college kid
with woes galore
and alcohol abundant
thinking of all those things to do
but thinking that i will do them
and get them done
I will graduate
and fuck the system
I will be amazing in their eyes
disenfranchised over the loss of my mentor
and the direction of my academic life
derailed by better works to be done for people less fortunate
inspired by those who are here and brilliant
examining those who are not
and wondering
why the hell am I here, and still coming here?
