Ridiculous

I left school early that day because I just couldn't take it anymore

I couldn't deal with the fake laughter and forgotten smiles

I couldn't stand being ignored

Being spoken over

Being pushed aside

Being forgotten

And it took me crying and having my sister pick me up

Sit in the poetry section of the library with two of my closest friends

It took care, and patience, and choice to realize that I was overanalyzing

I was mind reading

I was letting the monster take control of me

And I couldn't do that anymore

I can't do that anymore

And sometimes you just have to pull yourself back

Look at the world as it is

Take away your bias

And just laugh 

Because we're ridiculous caring about boys we'll soon hate

Talking about who slept with who

And life is ridiculous

But that's what makes it precious

Because there's nothing else quite like it
