school is prison

i am drowning

*another blank face

unrecognized and vacant

passing in the hall*

in the empty eyes

 

bleeding out sleep

*stress headaches

dehydration cramps

anxiety stomachaches

keeping me awake*

through invisible sores

 

the teachers eyes

*indifferent and glazed

too tired to care

why are we so tired*

cut me through and through

i should be thankful for school but the system is flawed and school makes me literally sick to my stomach
