A life on pause
As I sit and create a divot in the Earth
I create no dent in my debt
Twenty years nose first in a book
But not one day spent being prepared for the harsh truth
The doctors and the adjuncts hand me my grades
The dean hands me a $50,000 piece of paper
Some woman named Sallie Mae hands me the bill
Like an overstocked product I remain on the shelf
As the suits and white coats pass me up
So what's the answer
Spend more money
Get a certified certificate to certify that I'm finally worthy of your time
When my child is born I will lay no path for him
I will tell him no piece of paper will make him who he is
And he will be happier and more successful than I
