this is for your typical misfit

every drama geek

all those chess freak

for the ones who ate lunch at the trophy case

but more so for the misfit who never fit as missing

who fit but missed out on everything

the one by the knight because

maybe

that's where her friends are

we all don't fit

and we all aren't fit

and we're all throwing fits cause we don't 

we all missed first, and we'll all sluff fourth, and i could think of 1,000 plus chances who didn't make it past second

we would be shocked to know how many people at this school are up to their knees in their families depression, and up their neck in their own

i know, it's "senior year" and we can't help now cuz, it's all over

but you know, that guy in green eggs and ham didn't ever try something new till the very last page,

and it changed everything.

why can't we change everything.

god gave us enough battles we could handle till here
for some it's the neck
or the knees
or the ankles

but however high the blood and salt water,

it's bound to kill us all

we're bound to kill us all

so why not drown in these torn-dirty-wet-blankets together



let's drown in friday night dances and 100% attendance

let's buy fancy black dresses and tuxs to match, and if you can't pay, don't worry, i think i have something you could borrow

let's tell the sophomores they're good enough

and the juniors they're strong enough

because we all know the pain from the beginning

is so far from the pain of the end

let's enroll our kids in writing classes and our kid's kids in writing classes then let's read their journals to find out high school, was so high, it could never be ranked something 4.0

so please,

just try them,

sam i am,

here

or there

or anywhere

in a box

with a fox

with a mouse

in a house



the place,




or the time,




never mattered.
