&ldquo;I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think&rdquo; <br /> ― Socrates


I sit in my desk pretending to learn.
My body lies and my mind slowly burns.

I hope and pray that this hell dissipates.
The "silence" in the room just irritates.

When this purgatory ends, may I eat?
This subtle torture counts my heart's last beat.

My freedom soars as the bell loudly rings,
But the thought of my next class sorely stings.
