The End of the World
Snapshots of teenage melodrama:
not having the sense to stay out of the rain,
the latest hits broadcast over the cafeteria speakers,
a night out, with boisterous boys and giggling girls in cars,
first heartbreak. It seems like the end of the world - silly, isn't it?
Visions of Hell:
standing alone, under the driving rain, unable to find a reason to live or move -
stood up, by an empty cafeteria, "you're gonna wish, you wasn't born at all",
walking alone at night, taunted by shouting boys and giggling girls, "freak".
The end of the world? Lights out? I'm on board.
