Cry from the Top
Location
Thoughts run rapid inside my head
filled with words that I never said
So here's my chance to finally show
what I believe our system should know
The best example of course is me
#15 out of three hundred and three
Out of twenty-four hours, I sleep about five
and the other nineteen make me feel so alive
I arrive at school early in my dark green Jeep
to take American Government, or just go to sleep
then the bell sounds and I move to AP Physics
and sit attentively for about 100 minutes
Next is the class for student council members
What we do in there I can never remember
Then AP Calculus; AB, I should say
because technically for Calculus, it's the easier way
Depending on the day, my lunch plans change
Sometimes I eat, other times I feed my brain
On Mondays I'm President of the Senior Class
On Tuesdays I'm playing hard and running fast
On Wednesday I'm Prez again, but for another group
On Thursday I'm a scholar or a Spanish Prez; there's a loop
And then there's Friday, the day that comes last
what I do then depends on my Jeep's gas
But the trend is still the same for days that end in "y"
I'm a leader no matter for who, or what time
AP Economics isn't really that bad at hand
Oops, for AP Lit, two of those words are banned
After AP Lit, my mind has seven minutes to switch
Because the last thing on my schedule is AP Spanish
But my time at the school doesn't end there
Remember, I'm a leader, no matter when or where
So an extra two or three hours to help someone in need
or to work as a Student Council member so keen
On the weekends, one would assume I'm free
But then there's my job to put gas in my Jeep
Only four hours, but it always feels like more
when my Head Manager is the one person there I abhor
At school I feel like the microphone at an auction
When I finally get home, sleep isn't an option
So mentally, I take on multiple thought-process sessions
Anyone looking in my head would diagnose depression
Five AP classes, Student Council and a job
Things a mind juggles, that make my head throb
Listen to these silent cries from the top 5 percent
They shove us these tasks with out our mind's consent
So our psyches have to suffer for what we take on
What do I what changed? Whatever's not already gone.
