why must i sit
in a room with my peers
and hope that over
the teacher teaching
they don't hear my cries?
where i can no longer go
to the guidance office
because they just
send me back to class anyways.
we're stuck in a loop
work overloading us
to the point of just
giving it up.
endless nights studying
just to fail the tests.
our system is falling apart
our bright futures
fading to gray.
