The First Day of My Preconceived Life
The first day of my preconceived life
A ding alerted me my class was cancelled
"Read the syllabus and skip today
Don't forget to show up an hour late
If you miss the class you're kicked."
The first day of your preconceived life
The wind strips air from your lungs
Time settles into a whirlwind of fast and slow
And you are reminded that you will never be apart
Of your preconceived life
But that's just the anxiety talking
Don't worry darling the day will be fine
Grab a coffee to shake yourself out of your skin
Sit down and pretend like you aren't desperate to
Disappear
The first day of your preconceived life
You will not be present
