isn’t it truly amazing
this universe
in which we co-exist
has evolved
through dinosaurs
evolution and wars
heartbreak and turmoil
happiness and moments of peace  
every single event
extravagant or minute
each occurrence played a part
to mould this space we live in
so many contributions
in the form of attributions
all the tongues created
words spoken, thoughts shared
stories passed down through generations
buildings assembled, torn down
life and death
diseases and cures
chaos and equilibrium
a perpetuous cycle playing out
continuously on loop
all of it comes together
to form this mess of an education system
that’s makes me want to **** myself.
honestly it’s 3am and I’m up studying for an exam a month away that’s supposed to decide my whole future and the career paths I can take. suffering doesn’t even begin to cut it, there’s such a huge sense of foreboding and so many children commit suicide over stress or fear of disappointment. I know there are loads of issues worldwide and I probably could’ve written a better poem about it. But here I am addressing the education system and how whack it is. Goodnight. Hope you enjoyed.

Be still, my obstinate heart
For in the silence present
Between pairs of parted lips
Your cacophony will be my ruin

Desist in your perpetuous clamor
For in the peace of dreams
Given life and limb
T'is only you who will wake me

Lean upon my feign-ed strength
With your thunderous cries
He who will not mind thee
Is thee to soon become

Countenance is made weak
Beneath the percussion
Of heart meeting
Tender embrace

Breath rendered purposeless
In heart's response
Within my being
When he speaks

Be still, my obstinate heart
For amongst the calm of my nature
Between its silence and wanting
Your cacophony will be my ruin
