Let me tell you.
Location
Let me tell you what it's like
To wake up every morning
And do the same thing
For the same people
For the same amount of time
Every day
For fourteen years.
Let me tell you how it feels
To make friends
To fall in love
And have them leave at the end.
Let me tell you how to react when you
Work hard and you're
Compared to standards around you,
To not be good enough
To get into a school
That will benifit your future.
Let me tell you that
As good as you think you are
And as good as you may be
You do not compare
To the average.
