Waking Up Tomorrow
I could wake up tomorrow and call the cute kid in my history class
And despite my solid B say “Hey I really need some help to pass”
Maybe I drop that lie and ask him about go karts
and make him laugh with some sophisticated joke, probably about farts
Maybe when the phone rings and I hear “Hello?”
I do an awful accent and say “lo siento wrong numero”
I could wake up tomorrow and buy a train ticket and leave
If this place I live in more intensely suffocates me
maybe I decide I that this choice was the first time I was freely thinking
sitting in an itchy seat with a jar full of coins clinking
maybe I change my mind, freak out and want to go back
I was scared but, I tell my friends it was because of inadequate time to pack
I could wake up tomorrow and go for a 3 mile run
Breathing heavy while pretending running is fun
Maybe I kick start a new healthy lifestyle with this one act
and after six months of work I am throughly jacked
Maybe after the run I eat 2 bagels and take a nap
deciding that exercise is complete crap
I could wake up tomorrow and while laying on my bed
and remember I can do things because I am not dead
maybe thats harsh and and I guess pretty bleak
that is a completely valid critique
maybe I sound like a pretentious jerk
but the fact that I wake up with choices at all is berserk
