All I have learned how to do is study
And memorize
And cram
With a heavy head, how am I expected to take to the skies?
I know nothing about survival
Unless grabbing the newest textbook counts
I know that it doesn’t
I guess they have failed to brainwash me completely
But I do know how to wake up and eat
Then study
Go to sleep
And repeat
Never fully knowing what the outside world is like
Never slipping out of reach
Never learning the things that will actually help me
Always shoving me down
Never letting me wonder what if
Never showing me why
But commanding me this way
And that
That’s for the authority
And the sentence
That I committed no crime for
It was quite unneeded
Trying to get me to conform
By using peer pressure
Then when its useful for you to say the opposite,
You say that we shouldn’t follow others and do as you say
Making me feel so, so little
While telling me to be an adult
Then telling me that I’m not an adult
And when I am one I will never be ready
I can't believe I am finally free
From this tortuous prison
That I used to feel embarrassed to be a part of k-12
But now I am done with k-12
So bye motherfuckers
I ain’t coming back
And I ain’t gonna be looking back
Because most of the faculty, staff, administration, and board members made me feel like shit
Believe it or not
But
School was made for kids
So stop trying to take over and ruin our lives
