Gotta get out of here
For my own good
Gotta get out of here
For everyone else's good
Gotta get out of here
For my mom's good
Gotta get out of here
And I don't know
Oh, I don't know
Where I'm goin'
Where I'm goin'
Who I'm meetin'
Who I'm meetin'

It is the morning of Friday, November 30th, 2018
My alarm was set to 7:40 PM instead of 7:40 AM
I woke up at 7:50 and looked outside at the world
The sky was a mournful gray
How fitting, considering what happened the previous night
There is someone who no longer walks the earth
And this time, it's someone I was a little closer to than a couple of others
I know that people are devastated
The previous night, my best friend called me
He was crying like mad
He asked me what happened, and I said "I don't know"
"Why did it have to be her?" he asked, and I agreed
We later found out it was a car accident
Unlike our experience, we knew it wasn't at your hand
But nevertheless, we weren't any less crushed
And inspiration can come from anything
No matter how bitter or sweet
We'll miss you

When I was walking to class today, I saw someone and I thought it was you
For about 4 seconds, I had thought that you finally came back to life
But it was a completely different person, he had your eyes, your height, and your neutral glare
You left during a hot summer
We had just lost Kati, so when I heard about you, I couldn't believe it
I don't know how you did it, but you were gone nonetheless
I like to think your life energy went out into the universe
And now, it's floating to Pluto
Maybe even farther than that
Past the Kuiper Belt and maybe to the Andromeda
To land on another planet
And from that, spawn new life
Maybe we'll join you

It's been a while since you left
When you did, my appetite went away
I couldn't eat because my stomach was reversible
It rained for a good while after that
I knew your friends were devastated
And I, frankly, was too
I know your family wasn't in the best place at that point
I know my friend I didn't know before
Was really crushed to the bone
I know your favorite color was yellow
So I listened to that Coldplay song nonstop
Until you festered healthily
I like to think
That your energy is like Charlie's
In the universe somewhere
Where we know we could meet again one day, one day
Maybe you're with the Mars Rover
Maybe you're back on Earth
Maybe you're all alone somewhere else in the galaxy
But all we know for sure
Is that you're safe
And all we know for sure
Is that you're okay, unlike you here on Earth
Not being okay itself is okay
Take care of yourself out there
We miss you

Sometimes I don't know what to think about the world
When this guy is burnin' up in the street with gasoline
And the flames show no mercy
So when you really need someone to talk to you
It doesn't always work like it's supposed to
You can love yer brain
Even if it slips down the drain
Man, I'm not no drug addict
But a person's gotta have something
To keep him from going insane
Well, this man kills this other man
Who's killed this other man, so it's okay
And this fourteen year old's sittin' in the electric chair
Smilin' and smokin' a cigarette
So I guess I was right all along readin' Mad magazine
