Down the drain

Note-passing in class, laughs, broken glass
Down the drain it goes
0 point score, an unfinished chore, weight gain, and more
Down the drain it goes
All my frustrations, pain, and shame
swirling down the drain

The stainless steel stains red with mistakes
And the sink rejoices
Spitting me out to ponds and lakes
The drowned gurgling of a thousand bad choices
I can’t hear them any longer
