I Get Why Ships Exist Now

"What is up with all these ships?"
is a question I once asked myself,
but is it just me,
or have I known all along?

Drama, drama, drama
weighs more than karma, karma, karma.
I don't know why it does,
but it's what I see right now-
at least when it comes to middle school.

Holding hands? I gag.
Kissing? I barf!
And if I ever have to hear
banging and moaning
echoing in restroom stalls,
I might as well call home,
'cause these ships are getting hella crazy!

But, alas, there is also a beauty to these "ships,"
as it brings two people together
even as their friends annoy them
to be together forever.
It doesn't always work that way, though-
in fact, it never really does-
but I get why ships exist now.

It brings people together
to talk about something
that's drama, drama, drama,
without any karma, karma, karma;
and that's okay
because middle and high school ships
will either sink in despair,
or float in love.
