Statements by Sara: Read this or die

My last post makes me depressed. The Oatmeal makes me glad.

no such thing - john mayer

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me condescendingly. "Take a seat; take your life. Plot it out in black and white." Well, I never lived the dreams of the prom kings and the drama queens. I'd like to think the best of me is still hiding up my sleeve. They love to tell you, "Stay inside the lines." But something's better on the other side. I wanna run through the halls of my high school. I wanna scream at the top of my lungs. I just found out there's no such thing as the real world, just a lie you've got to rise above. So the good boys and girls take the so called right track, faded white hats grabbing credits and maybe transfers. They read all the books but they can't find the answers. And all of our parents, they're getting older; I wonder if they've wished for anything better, while in their memories tiny tragedies love to tell you, "Stay inside the lines." But something's better on the other side. I wanna run through the halls of my high school. I wanna scream at the top of my lungs. I just found out there's no such thing as the real world, just a lie you've got to rise above. I am invincible. I am invincible. I am invincible as long as I'm alive. I wanna run through the halls of my high school. I wanna scream at the top of my lungs. I just found out there's no such thing as the real world, just a lie you've got to rise above. I just can't wait til my 10-year reunion. I'm gonna bust down the double doors, and when I stand on these tables before you, you will know what all this time was for.
