I'm lost

Lost in a Forest 

Moving from tree to tree 

This is what my studies does to me

The Dark pale light shines across my face,

it seems I may have lost this race 

The test scores beseech me, attempting to defeat me 

I can't take this much more. Lost in my studies forevermore. 

I'm losing myself, who am I? Every grade stings like a black eye 

This poem was written as I was smitten

by the idea that I could write of the false corruption of the "teachers might" 

"You're not dismissed" I must reminisce about days when students where not controlled 

By the test scores which often does not represent them as a whole. 

Sure, you may think me stupid, even bold 

But I assure you my story will be told 

For through education I have learned 

To be smart my thoughts may be heard, 

But is it truly my thoughts I don't know

If I don't think like you, i'm wrong I should go. 

Drowning Under water. Sunken by pride

The titanics bane, my studies studied in vein. 

But I say to you good student, you're not alone, i'm here too. 

I've found the road, through the forest moon, by dawn the sun rises

I'm winning this fight 

A breath, fresh air, I have seen beauty beyond compare. 

I'm swimming not sinking, I will live through the waves. 

Though I am strong, my mind is my crutch. 

I will suffer no longer, I am freed by my mind, I know this much.
