i ate some fried chicken yesterday
it tasted good to eat my worries away
i saw my friend in the hallway
but i hit a locker and it took my breath away
i went to stats we had a happy frappy
made me realize that my life was so crappy
but it’s alright
and it’s okay
cause i ordered chicken and it’s on the way
i love the fried chicken delivery boy
he’s got a look that could bring me some joy
but i don’t even pay attention to his face
just the chicken he’s holding that’s good for my plate
fried chicken tastes so good
it always brings up my mood
it’s the only reason for me to run
because eating chicken is just too fun
i met a boy a few days ago
worth a million boxes of cookie dough
i found him on instagram, oh lord god bless
i tried to follow him but he ignored my request
but it’s alright
and it’s okay
cause i ordered chicken and it’s on the way
my friend caitlin and i were parking i thought we had some space
but i’m blind and we hit another car like a slap in the face
later in the shower i tried to change the song
lesson learned: phones and water don’t get along
had a physics test where i was barely alive
legit i didn’t study i got a 25
it’s okay though cause i took a nap
and found peace in a chicken wrap
but each night when i went home
i was never ever alone
because i ate fried chicken all those days
and my worries went away
