School has taught me more about trying
to fit in
rather than getting to second period on time,
and being picked last for dodgeball
made me feel more like the walls of
the gymnasium
rather than your f***ing classmate of four years.
Sometimes we're only friends with people
because we have to see them
5 times a week;
or maybe we just try to convince ourselves that we
aren't as lonely as we
actually are.
Mornings have become about crowded hallways
of lifeless bodies
pushing down energy drinks and
small talk.
Education is more about memorizing thirty definitions
than actual knowledge
and that has f***ed me up just as much
as my elementary school bullies did when I
was 13.
School has taught me more about ways
to get out of it
rather than wanting to learn.
And that's sad.
