with numbers over people
and grades over minds
with stifled creativity
and percentages define
with anxiety rising
and participation low
with intrinsic fear of failing
and passing a miracle
with work and school and homework
and they all must be balanced
with a social life and sleep
but only 24 hours are in existence
so something has to give
and forbid it is the school
so friends and sleep and mental health
are thrown into the pool
when did it become this way
its not how it had started
but what used to be a privilege
is now what none wanted
school is a burden
we are forced to bear
and any love of learning
was stifled of any air
when we are forced to tears
at the thought of monday
and are deprived of friends and sleep
just to get a grade
when we are ready to quit
praying for the day
when summer will release us
from the chains we've laid
something has gone wrong
this is all too far
stop right there! take a step back!
and look at where we are!
something needs to change
please, its what i beg
we are more than just a grad
eand GPAs don't define our heads

In My Head
PoetryA collection of my poetry. there is no rhyme or reason between them, they are simply there because i wrote them and needed a place for them to go. i know, my grammar sucks. also, there will be updates whenever i write more poetry.
