FUCK THE SYSTEM

Fuck the school system

Every week another standardized test

Its disgusting

They just want my money

None of my teachers give a fuck about me

But they need to see me daily

Peek through the haze

 

Only 17

But its that cigarette i crave

I've become a slave

Dad thinks I'm a loser

And mom thinks

I'll never lose her

But I've lost myself

And fell from the top shelf

Grades start to slip

And the stress reaches the tip

Of my head

Just want to be dead

Society makes me dread

Getting out of bed 

Suicide in the back of my mind

I don't have the balls 

But when duties call

I'll curl into a ball

And never move at all

 

Set up for failure 

Don't give a fuck about danger

Listen to my words

Cause I do speak wisdom 

Labeled as nerds

Fuck the system

This poem is about: 
Me
My community
Our world
