screaming laughing crying

life makes me want to scream

really loudly

its not like i have it harder than anyone else

i haven't at all..

but all these little things are piling up

crashing down

exams are stressing me out

friendships are falling apart

my insecurities are bringing me down

i get that to everyone else my problems are nothing

that their own are getting in their way

bringing them down

but they mean something to me

i guess all i'm trying to say is i'm just over it all

and i miss last year

when no one cared what the crap quadratic equations were

or why the man from snowy river was so important

we spent our time wondering why the windbreak was there

as it didn't actually break the wind

it just intensified it

or how best to make sculptures with packaging tape

we didn't know who Erik Erikson was, nor did we care

but if we did, we would have laughed that he made up his own last name

but we don't now

our focus is firmly locked on his theories of personality development

life makes me want to scream, laugh and cry

all at the same time

so i choose to laugh
