The scholar

Netashi

  • They say class is in session and my mind begins to start stressing

People think that I’m funny but that's how show my depression

  • People that don’t know me they call me a big phony

They say I’m lonely that we should have a stoning

  • My family wants to know what has become of their son

They say to finish high school go to college get that income

  • Listen to my shaking start before my rhymes fall apart

Wait a couples seconds before my mind hits restart

  • They say class is in session and my mind begins to start stressing

People think that I’m funny but that’s how I show my depression

  • The people that call me phony don’t know that I brought some homies

Go ahead and call me lonely but we will see who takes part in that stoning

- My family wants to know what has become of their son

They see he passed high school and has friends and has fun

  • Listen to my aching heart before my mind falls apart

Wait a couple of seconds before life decides to start

      • Suresh

        You speak it from your heart
        Exposing your hidden parts
        Those who find solitude in loneliness
        Are seldom understood by phoniness
        So well written
        So well expressed

        • Netashi

          thanks
