I Hate School
 Jun 2018 niella

I am 14
I go to school
I do my times tables
I write my essays
I do my homework
I get shot

I am 14
I’m stressed about school
I’m worried about my grades slipping
I’m nervous when talking to my crush
I’m anxious when speaking in front of the class
I’m scared that the sound I heard was a madman with a gun

I am 14
I am confused
I am frustrated
I am enraged
I am scared
I am hiding under my desk trying not to scream

I am 14
I hate school
But for the wrong reasons
I hate it because people have died in my halls
I hate it because every sound I hear is a gun being shot
I hate it because I’m scared I’m going to die

you've done nothing.
you write.
you draw.
you waste time.

no,

I craft emotions into words others can experience
I move feelings into visuals brought to life through my own hands
I create.

...but where does any of that get me?
You've accomplished nothing.

"That's a great side hobby"
"As long as you aren't thinking about doing that for a living"
"Don't compare yourself to others"
"She's sooo talented"
SO to a certain professor for that lovely quote that messed me up for months
