I've learned two things
Being cynical will keep you alive
And
People will hurt you more deeply
Than you've ever imagined
So I sit here, in Irrelevant Class
Counting the minutes...
Which become hours
And in two weeks, I'm free
And over these four years
I've learned two things
Teachers don't know everything
And
Happiness is only a chemical imbalance
So I sit here and ponder
While the minutes pass by
I see time stretch out across the miles
The miles that begin and end in my eyes
And I realize that in the last four years
I've only learned two things
Time is irrelevant because there's never enough
And
The people you love will always leave too soon
The best years of your life
Are being wasted
But time is futile
And so are we
Someone asked me to summarize
These past years
So I told them
I've learned two things
Nothing is ever fully understood
And
A good joke is always at the expense of someone else
Tomorrow we start a new chapter in class
It's titled "Human Relations"
(I can't help but snicker at the oxy-moron)
Why have they even bothered
When its it's almost over and nobody cares...
I sigh...more work
So I take out my notebook
And scribble down something barely readable
But it looks a little like
"I wish I was dead"
And I say to myself
I've really only learned two things in life
Suicide is giving up
And
Life is learning when to give up
