about

We do not remember the weekends
Slices of clean time
between Friday afternoon and Sunday night
When we could move through the world
As we pleased
Our first taste of real freedom

We remember Monday morning
Slowly grinding back into society’s pace
Twenty math questions that were really sixty
Because of A and B and C
Late nights until one and two and three a.m.
Writing papers and studying
Making up for the happiness we had borrowed
From previous days
We remember waiting

We do not remember graduation
In our flowing regal caps and gowns
Packed in to sweat in the gym one last time
Before being released into the rest of our lives
We remember the hallways, just as packed
Who we had in our classes and at our lunch tables
Which way we walked to each class
Groups and cliques we aligned with and didn't
Always looking forward to walking across
That stage at the end
We remember waiting

lyrics

Always waiting for the weekend.
Always waiting for the next year.
Always waiting for the next phase of my life.
Always waiting for the answers.

Never needing validation
Never needing any help
Never wanting discipline or perception.
Only I can let it out.

I won’t fall,
That means I crawl.
Do or die,
Let me cry.

Longing for reception,
I want to have a voice.
I want to feel something real, and not indifferent.
What’s the cost of this life?

I won’t fall,
That means I crawl.
Do or die,
Let me cry.
