As high as my education

Location

An empty class fills with the empty heads of a wasted.

Summer.

The empty hearts of those here to learn higher.

Education.

Classes full of tired eyes, cloudy minds, and unrested.

Pupils.

Another year here to help you detox.

Vacation.

Another semester, a direct IV, get it in your system.

Learning.

A race to the finish, to not forget what you just learned.

Tested.

Soaked like a sponge, try to get out.

Remember.

Next semester won't be so hard. Next test I will own. My education in higher learning will not be wasted, my summer will not trump the success of my brain. I know it, test me.
