School

School is like a sour apple.

It looks so beautiful

On the outside,

You can't help

But imagine what the fruit tastes like.

It seems like a good idea

To eat it.

But once you bite into it,

All you feel is regret.

School is like a panic attack in a building.

Keeping you weak,

On your knees.

Shouting for help,

Nothing coming out.

Mouth open,

Eyes closed.

Shaking,

Crying,

Giving in to your weak stomach.

School is like a cage,

Keeping you locked in the limited rooms that are offered to you.

Driving you insane.

School is like depression,

It holds on to you,

With a terrible death grip.

Never Leaving,

Always coming back.

Taking all you have.
