Congratulations
January 7, 2019
“Congratulations,” they said,
not realizing that your grades
and your GPA
and your class rank
won’t protect you from lying awake in the middle of the night
knowing he was right;
no one will notice if you’re there or not
and no one will care.
There’s nothing that can protect you from the knowledge that
no one cares about you
until you impress them.
No one loves you
until you give them a reason to be proud of you first.
