They smell fear.
They push you to your limits. You can't bare it anymore. Why are you even here? Is this what you want in life? They don't care about you or your feelings.
Power. It's all about having power.
As you stumble through the halls, you leave behind a trail of anxiety and depression. They follow behind, sweeping it under the carpet.
What's their excuse?
"They are just hormonal, dramatic children."
They want you to do great things. Not to live a fulfilling life, not to bring change to the world - but to pay taxes and let the rich keep being rich and the poor keep being poor.
You are strung along like a puppet. They force you to work. No consideration. A permanent frown has been etched onto your sickly face.
You know it's not want you want. You want freedom. You want to feel the joy of living. But after 12 years in a dark cage, your vision is blurry. You don't see a bright future. You can only see a dull, gray world that doesn't move. A dull, gray world that wants nothing but power.
It's extreme. If you are one who wants to achieve great things, you must sacrifice not just little things, but your wellbeing. You must sacrifice the feeling of happiness - if you even remember what that means.
It's a cycle. Be born, reproduce, suffer, die. Be born, reproduce, suffer, die. An endless cycle that you can't control.
They say it will make your life better if you go through pain at the beginning. But all it does is make you more resilient to the torture that is to come.
They are preparing you for an endless battle. You study, you practice, you memorise, yet you are still not good enough. You aren't worthy of being happy. Why would you think that you deserve happiness?
The world is greedy.
Become one of them and you will forever live on in bliss while others continue to be tortured.
