Today on my way to work I walked past my old high school
and remembered all those walls, with my self esteem stuck to them
and it mocked me every day of my life
as it echoed down the corridors I walked aimlessly through
and all my failed attempts, you made a point
and every hallway cried that day
I heard weeping in the bathrooms, echoing through the lockers
and every time I opened mine I could hear your voice.
All my failed attempts, you made up for
and all my attention seeking cries, you made silent
and those walls will forever have bits of my bones and blood
stained on them, to remind others to not let themselves go mad in public
all the memories from my stay
can be saved for the rainy day
they come to collect my debts
and I’ll hope to meet you at the gates
I wonder after all this time if you would wait for me
remember me? I wonder if you’d remember me
as our eternity stretches on forever
through all those clouds I spend forever wondering about
with my head straight through them
this reality never made much sense to me
and just like you I’ll become another memory
with an old picture frame, placed around my tired face
but I still think you deserved much better than you thought you were worth
oh my friend, we have a lot of catching up to do. I can’t wait to catch up with you.
