School.

I drag my feet to the wooden door.

they told me I needed to learn to live

I nodded my agreement

But, on the inside, I screamed.

I felt suffocated between the hordes of people and pointless talk

I wanted to live to learn

I wanted to lean about humans
instead, I watch people hate, because emotion is weakness

I wanted to watch people fall in love,
instead, I watch these people who think love is a simple snog

I wanted to feel the ocean at my feet
instead I scuff the gym floor

I wanted moon dust in my pocket
instead I feel an eraser

I wanted to to feel alive
instead, I feel the crushing wait of life
