'My Flesh Already' by Ravyn LaRue

Don’t worry about the small stuff
life is made up of small stuff
and you cannot live when you’re worried
you shouldn’t have to distract yourself
from waiting for results
by unintentionally breaking your water bottle
ringing fingers through holes in your sleeves
and actively pursuing places where wifi eludes you
this is not good
just go on home
and do your assignments
but I know
you will use the pain
to plunge yourself deeper
denying the world around you
until that time comes
and then you’ll probably be disappointed
and trying
to hurl yourself away from consciousness
so you won’t have to worry
about why you weren’t chosen
