Our Youth

skyebellasario

As we walk into the classroom,

All they see is that

A or D 

That appears on our paper

On the dreaded results day.

 

In our perfected uniform,

Our eyelids droop

And we scrawl facts and figures

We write essays more 

Than we breathe.

 

Aren’t we supposed to be playing 

Carelessly on the parks?

 

They say they want the best

For us.

They say they care about 

Our mental health.

 

So how did they not realise

That they were slowly

Draining the life and imagination 

Out of our youthful glow.
