Points
You all think you have it bad.
But the truth is, you haven't had it rough since day one
I'm special you see, for I go to PCSS, the land of the slaves.
We have a special system, unlike no other, one that would send you into a frenzy.
We don't give out hopes and dreams. Just points. Points. Points. Points.
What is a point you may ask? Exactly, what is the point.
A point is a form of punishment, embodied into a virtual measurement.
They don't exist outside the internet. So why do they matter?
It's how the school judges you. You represent your points.
Go into the positives? Then you're golden.
Go into the negatives? Then you're damned.
It's how the Prision Guards keep the Inmates in check.
I've seen students lose their cool over an untucked shirt.
i've seen students in solitary confinement because they weren't reading when it was reading time.
They say school is where you're suppose to grow. But the only thing I see growing is fear and hate.
