School And Its Effects
I feel like school is one of
Societies’ biggest misunderstandings
We put so much value
And trust into this system,
That we see passed all of
Its faults and negative
Effects it has on us.
Sometimes I wonder if
Teachers even care
About what we think
When we are just judged by a letter,
Or a number
Or a percentage
I want to be known for the
Theories I write
Or the art I create
Or the things I love
I want to be more than
Just a letter
Or a number
Or a percentage
I want to be a human being
Not a statistic.
All school has given me is
Chewed down fingernails
Tired, lifeless eyes
And the notion
I’m not good enough.
