Wake up Students
Incredible amounts of self doubt
Infinite second guessing
Lonely enough to crowd island
Want the world to change
But won’t begin to organize
Lack of confidence
With every compliment
More self conscious
Quiet around who you need to
Ask questions and guidance
Not so sure of survival
Perhaps manana
Will wake with new found
Over standing so won’t be
Sitting under self deprecation
Putting down powers within
Caught in whirlwind running
Around reason with no rhythm
Asking for a dance
Worried about rejection
Let’s read because I haven’t read
Since I was in pre k
Barely learned my ABCs
Can do the math fluidly
But can’t figure out
A theme resolution
Or any characterization
Mine as well still be
On the plantation
Because freedom hidden
Deep in middle of book
Never to be opened
Hoping the message will
Bounce across the sky
Fall right on me
Why are you stressing
Making this an issue
Trying to pass off
Something for free
Perhaps you might move
We could sit here all day
Just be assholes to each other
Or we could give each other
A chance to do something
Different like going beyond
What is expected of you
Which is the world
Rotating in your palms
How would you shake it up
Break it up not you just me
Right now really want to be
Friends of it all possible
Uneasy effort shocking to you
But the end result is proving
Your abilities to yourself
The immediate is directly
Tied to your wealth
Unacceptable limit of
Your account when you bounce
There is the fall and the rise
