School

I know school is the place

Where I get to see you

But it’s also my personal hell

Where I’m doomed to die

Stuck here, trapped here

For eight hours a day

Five days a week

Weekends feel like heaven

I need a break from this torture

The hours, minutes and seconds drag on

As the holidays fly by like an arrow

When I wish they could stay forever

It’s the worst thing ever

An endless fiery torment

I need to escape this place

It’s like a horror game

In fact, I’d rather be in

A horror game, that might be fun

Exhilarating and different

Instead of being confined here

I’d rather do so many things

Than go to somewhere boring

I’d rather cry a million tears

And face my biggest fears

And so, the only way to escape

This set in, melted in, frozen in reality

Is to daydream while the seconds tick by

Just to go to somewhere better

Daydreaming is better than school

So much more fun and controlled

I can shoot zombies or kill my enemies

Or just chillax under the stars

So, please, don’t make me go to school

I don’t feel smart, strong or cool

Let me be by myself

In some alternate universe
