Point of View
It has been
A very long road
Yet here I am standing tall
Free from a prison of others design
Or was it?
A place of learning so they said,
But whilst there felt naught but dread.
Bullied, beaten, but still I stand.
So shall we all hand in hand.
I've stood by and seen
Those all around me cry
While fighting for there cause
Wanting, screaming, the be heard.
While only I would listen.
Yet here I stand
And I have heard both sides
I have stood behind, as the teachers run and hide
Structure is what they hope to impart
Yet is that smart?
Should we not all be free?
Yet here I stand by my self
And as I look around
See what they should have taught.
So now I am away,
And this is what I say.
Here I stand...
Try to understand.
