On the sorrowful letter in my hands
I'm too dejected to even cry
So I stare down at the sands.
Maybe not the best place to be
On the beach in a rain storm
But what's another risky move
I've never been one to conform
Perhaps that's why I found myself here
In so much trouble with other people
Well, one in particular
The mere thought of him renders me feeble.
I thought that this was my escape
A college far away
But this letter ruined that hope
And now I'll have to stay
My only other option
Is the school that he attends
And now it's four more years
The smiles I'll give must be pretend.
My mother will be proud
She liked this college less
And now they won't allow me in
I wasn't good enough I guess.
Even if I don't see him much on campus
I'll know that he is there
And thats just bad enough
Almost too much nervousness to bear.
But I will have to endure
And be brave and try to ignore
I'm sure that I'll survive
Even if it proves a chore
I'm sure that I'll be fine
And prosper well enough
He'll have to come second to glee
I'll survive; I'm tough
