The Depths of the Teenage Mind

Sometimes I walk down the halls of my high school and I hardly notice the clutters and clutters of people around me. I have my own problems to deal with (mostly worrying if i finished the homework in my next class) so I truly can't be bothered with anyone elses' self-induced issues. But every once in a while I actually wonder what is going on through all those pieces-of-shit freshmen minds. I get greedy and I want to know exactly what they are thinking about and if when I pass by there is even a thought about it. I know it's selfish to want to be on peoples' minds who I care nothing at all about, but honestly I'm a bit selfish. It's not so much that I want to be on their minds, but it's that I want to be able to see myself from an outside view. Sometimes I can be so self-centered that I worry myself. But the thing is, even if I could read everybody in school's minds, I wouldn't get very far. I would just be annoyed. Because all the thoughts in everybody elses' heads are just at petty and self-centered as mine. There goes the kid who is hoping his new shoes impress the little scene girl in his third block, or there goes the girl is hoping none of her friends notice she hasn't eaten lunch for the past couple days. Excuse me while I pretend to care. Because at the end of the day, we're all just kids worrying about the same damn things.
