I walked away already feeling dead
I took the long way out to extend the time
At least I thought it was time to unwind
I arrive at the school where I've been for years
But it was never enough time to wash away the tears
I stepped out of my car and walked to the school
Where reality illustrated how life can be so cruel
It was the last day of school and I wanted to cry
So I jumped up, walked out and bled water in my eye
My reason gone for wanting to survive
Of my homeboy, the only one to keep me in this city
The knife met my throat having enough self-pity
The gather of people brought forth my cries
But few truly knew of their lost prize
The people that had fallen so desparately within
Were the only cries heard over the fall of a pin
They were the only ones who could be called friends
But still I wonder what really could've been
Yet I never could live up to the fight
Because I always knew things would never be alright
I failed the quiz and couldn't take the test
Because life showed me, I'd never be relieved of the stress
