“…Stay in school!”
You’ll often hear people whisper to themselves when passing by a soul seemingly on its last lightbulb still in tact.
But!
I have a question that might just blow everybody’s mind reading this sentence right now.
What if,
School is what made them do it?
I mean,
Everybody’s journey down into a rock-bottom (a fall some people miraculously manage to break),
Paints a different picture for all of us to look into.
Some start when they’re just an adolescent lost in a world full of traps naked to the human eye. Some manage to follow their tunnel, inches away from reaching the light only to crash sideways, creating another path that might just lead them backwards into what they’ve sworn to escape…
So,
What if school really made them do it? What if the pressure of becoming an “important somebody” through a system of education teaching most how to die inside quicker than your beloved peers?
Or,
Heartbreaks from lost loves they never saw coming no matter how far from reality their state of minds are currently at?
Stay,
In school?
Or,
Do we really mean,
Stay levelheaded.
Breathe.
Love who you see inside of a mirror you’ve been having trouble looking at for the past few years…
Maybe,
That’s what’ll keep somebody off the drugs…
