You
Put your
Life into this
Tears sweat stress for
What? A piece of paper
A diploma that says you made
It? A stamp that says you’re well Rounded?
A paper
that shows you learned something You’re not getting that! But that that is
okay right?
You
didn’t care about it it you joked that it it wasn’t worth anything anyways right?
So why do you care? You
can’t walk across that stage or
say bye to your
peers? But you’re you’re happy you’re you’re not gonna have to see them right?
You
won’t miss them right?
So you spent 12 years and you’re not getting that paper
I’m sorry xxxx
