I repeated every lesson,           hearing every drowning word... Every syllable that was recast,        but I never learnt a single... done over,                         duplicated.. Reproduced as another version of               the same verse.. Everything was!                 refashioned, redone, remade..    In the fashion of what was before. But even though I sat in every class..         I never took a single word in.. The teachers changed, but I remembered                      that one who made me resit every lesson.... I cant see anything in this crammed space...                     But hopefully one day some one will cover me for a toilet break.. And I'll be peace.... I resit every lesson and still                       all I see is deathly words..                                        Never heard,    but reverberating though hollow bones

Lessons Never Learnt
I repeated every lesson,           hearing every drowning word... Every syllable that was recast,        but I never learnt a single... done over,                         duplicated.. Reproduced as another version of               the same verse.. Everything was!                 refashioned, redone, remade..    In the fashion of what was before. But even though I sat in every class..         I never took a single word in.. The teachers changed, but I remembered                      that one who made me resit every lesson.... I cant see anything in this crammed space...                     But hopefully one day some one will cover me for a toilet break.. And I'll be peace.... I resit every lesson and still                       all I see is deathly words..                                        Never heard,    but reverberating though hollow bones
