What the front door.

Somewhere around three a.m. in the morning
I’ll overdose on what I mistook to be
Just a simple strawberry punch fruit drink.
Within a few minutes my friends will notice
That I haven’t gotten up to dance yet.
When they come to check on me
they’ll also notice the slight fever.
Once I collapse on the floor,
all the teens will freak out,
And call an ambulance.
By the time they show, I’ll be unconscious.
They’ll give me an I.V. and rush me to the hospital
A few hours later my parents will get
A long distance call from an officer saying
Their daughter died shortly after being carried
To the hospital from a party
Due to circumstances still in question.

i dont know why people think i write about real life experiences. this did NOT happen to me, my fellow captains. if it did, i just might not be here. i hope it has a sarcastic 'oh well' slightly dry and bitter sort of feel to it.i also hope you like.

&ldquo;We are all a little weird and life&#039;s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.&rdquo;- dr suess<br /> <br /> &quot;Saying &#039;I notice you&#039;re a nerd&#039; is like saying, &#039;Hey, I notice that you&#039;d rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you&#039;d rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?&#039; In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even &#039;lame&#039; is kind of lame. Saying &#039;You&#039;re lame&#039; is like saying &#039;You walk with a limp.&#039; Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he&#039;s done all right for himself.&quot; <br /> &mdash; John Green
