My homework** screams to be released
Like the pain of a child who only wants peace.

My head aches from the assignments and pressure
Pen and paper at hand but not to written with poetry's pleasure.

School isn't meant to teach you about life
It just teaches how to pass exams, well we might.

Teachers only caring if the course is done
I know no one said it was going to be fun.

I fear when we get out of this book surrounded cocoon
we will not know how to fly.
The world is so big for this little butterfly.

Learning to build a cocoon is what seemed right
but now how do you cope with the bright light?

So I  pack my bag and head out the door
Because this is right now; lets learn to soar.

When you're sitting beside me
I can't help but want to press my shoulder into yours just to see
If you'll notice how I like to touch you,
I want our shoulders to create so much heat that it makes everyone else blush,
I just want to say soppy words until we turn to mush
and sink down so deep, that their is no time for air,
Breathless oblivious to the mad world around,
Too naive to realise that our mouths must disconnect,
Or we will collapse from lack of breath,
But it's better than drowning in your own tears,
and much better than making your throat sear..
