When I go to school, I'm free

From the pressure

The suffocating darkness

That likes to make its presence known


When I'm not 

I feel like I'm drowning

In a sea

Of my own thoughts 

Especially at night


Every second spent

In the place

I'm forced to call

"Home"

Is an hour stretching

Impossibly longer

The clock is not my friend

It plays tricks, going backwards


But sometimes

When I'm sitting in class

Smiling truly

For the first time since Friday afternoon

A sliver

Of that suffocating darkness

Slips back inside my head


My smile drops

But only for a second

Until it's back again

Only now

It's fake.
