Not for me

Contributed by deepviolet on Saturday, 11th February 2006 @ 09:15:52 PM in AEST
Topic: schoolproblems



No, not for me
For I have seen the darkness of the hall
The echo of the call of a voice
I see is mine but can't recognize
I have felt the inexplicable shame
When a stranger turns a corner as I was doing
a thing of strangeness

The security of sitting, paying attention
Seems to be enough for me
I take in teacher's lessons and do what is
expected of me
And yet, it is not for me

There is not my name written on a debate card
Sitting in front of me waiting to be read
There is not my name on the sheet of numbers
Turned in with a smile

I wish I had no abilities, the freedom of misbehavior
Giving time to sort out myself
Instead of running along trying to hide
The passions within, yet unknown

everyone feels like that sometimes, just try and remember that school is only a very small part of your life. you still have the rest of your life to live!!
