3 / 30 : lunch at rand.

it's friday yessssssss.
right now now im listening to 'dream'. not 'the dream'. dream, the white girl group who was signed under diddy mad years back. dont judge.
as usual, hit up the 30/30 cypher. right hereeeee. rawness in its finest. nate has been blogging his 30/30 on this site so click his name on the side if u wanna get at that.
i got to catch up on my thursday night tv. let's go!


lunch at rand

around 12 pm on friday afternoons
every black person on campus
descends on the tables of rand
the flocks congregate and break off
into their respective groups
and talk their respective shit
about the mother fucker they hate
three tables over

these days i would rather take the
side door between chef james and rand
walk outside and walk down
but today i felt like i had been ghost enough
so i sat down at a table to catch up

the same bitches who i know hate me
gave me fake hugs and asked me how 
i was doing
and with a frozen smile on my face
i told them  i was doing fine, thanks,
and how were they?

and i would normally never go through rand
with sweatpants and a jacket on
sleep deprived, 24 hours in
because people would start talking shit like

oooh girl. ashley look a hot asssssss
mess these days. i ain't seen 
her ass in a minute and WHAT
the FUCK 
she got on? 

but as the days go by
and as the year wraps up
i am realizing that i am starting
not to give a flying 747 fuck
about what these people
think about me

and as i was standing there 
in rand with my chuck taylors
smudged makeup from exhaustion
for the first time in awhile
i had to admit to myself that
i'm tired of pretending
and performing at noon 5 days a week
and as i looked out in the faces
of some of my peers i could tell
that they want the curtains to close
too

so i walked offstage
got a cherry icee
and fell asleep
