Teach Life


Stop,

Constant struggle to ignore the harsh words,

drama and hate fill the halls,

Group projects on flowers,

while the girls at the dances are broken,

why do we teach how to write a college essay,

and neglect the well being of individuals,

Depression,

Anorexia and Bolemia dominate our lives,

Pefection is expected but can not be achieved,

Longing,

Deep in their hearts searching for acceptance,

why do we ignore,

spread love and truth

not mathmatical formula needed

teach respect and equality

Life can be lived
