Chapter three, we\u2019ve finally made it, the final level inching closer towards completion,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barely holding onto that proverbial rope, it\u2019s cracked and fraying while palms are bleeding,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prepping for that final boss, taking care of its minions first,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trials, assessments and exams galore, a carefree life exists no more,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outside those gates, learning the inner workings behind the driver\u2019s seat,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Been at it for one year already, locked on towards those red Ps,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Life at home base remains stable, though chipping on the surface,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unsure if it\u2019s wear and tear or a slow-paced crumbling,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tensions mounting, taking a wee bit longer to resolve, at times those glory years feel like mere hallucinations, might as well had never happened at all,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can\u2019t forget that day, another explosive row between them three, retreated to the sanctuary, teens shed tears only under the veil of privacy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feeling the heat from some of the relos, nothing like pressure to create diamonds,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also busts pipes, bet they didn\u2019t know it, that\u2019s how your guy here be feeling it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s also the retreat, lasted two days and one night in an idyllic setting to \u2018find ourselves\u2019, that\u2019s the bullshit they\u2019re preaching,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Didn\u2019t quite go as planned, yours truly got a revelation instead, any semblance of acceptance pretty much gone and fucking dead,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Couldn\u2019t even shower in peace, the trolls were frothing and let loose,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No deadly kinky prison shit in here, but literal mudslinging was put to malicious use,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Way to convince a guy that he\u2019s alone, fuck it, so be it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Won\u2019t rattle y\u2019alls cages anymore, I\u2019ll gladly go off on my lonesome,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can\u2019t lie, some friendly folks remained, well-meaning and approachable, unlike the snakes that went right for the jugular,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Treated them in kind but stopped short of letting them in, never know if wolves are lurking within, gotta be wary of whom I be trustin\u2019,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t bother asking \u2018bout girls, dating or anything of the sort, no time for any of that, not while tests, gen pop and expectations are on riding my back,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not that they\u2019re checking for your boy and the feeling was mutual, at this rate will probably fly the skies without a co-pilot, off to the great unknown alone,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every waking moment between classes spent in the library, a refuge from the bullies and the politics,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finding a safe haven between shelves, can\u2019t remember the categories but one of them was music,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flicking through pages until the chiming of the bell, before another onslaught of assessments and unwanted interactions, life on campus a special kind of hell,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking of, they say there\u2019s a place reserved for those that take matters into their own hands,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never did plan on turning towards a permanent solution, but to say I ain\u2019t ever thought about it would be lyin\u2019 about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
