Our parents are always telling us , you have to go to school, that you'll learn everything you need to know before you're ready for the big world, and that'll you need it to get into your dream job But now a days our education isn't about learning, its about passing Our education now isn't the same as it used to be It teaches us that if you're not at a certain grade level, you will not succeed That if you don't meet a certain criteria, maybe you're not for fit the course This education system doesn't teach us whats really important for the big world It doesn't teach us how to live, how to do taxes or how to survive It never taught us the living expenses or how to buy a home Never taught us what to expect once we leave for college or how to balance our schedules No. It only taught us homework, about a plant cell, about tangents and circumferences It taught us that homework is more important than family That it's more important than being a kid and having a life It taught us that if you spend time with loved once and didn't do your work, you're setting yourself up for failure They pile us with work it feels like we cant breath They never once thought of the other class assignments that must be due not even 24 hours later They make us memorise things that will no longer be important when we apply for a job We study for hours in hopes to pass that final test that we'll soon forget But what are we suppose to say when someone asks us how we're feeling? We were never taught that We never memorised an equation to help us find the answer We were only ever taught to keep our mouths shut and do our work Its quite funny what we learn in school now Things more than 80% of the students will never have to use let alone see again School was suppose to prepare us for our future For the job choice we pick Instead we meet and learned quadratics and plant cells We were taught homework is what your focus should always be on We were never taught about the future and what to do And most importantly We were never taught how to love ourselves and the things we should be greatful for They've turn us into sad, mindless robots that's are more concerned about grades and passing than whats going on with the family We lock ourselves in our rooms doing homework for 6 hours than talking to our mothers or fathers who wonder about us We were never taught the importance of family before it was too late Every single highschool student wishes they can turn back the clocks, but it'll never work We were taught the hard way that you don't really know what you have until its gone Something we weren't prepared for They never prepared us for the future Instead, we prepare our self for the possible failing outcome How are we suppose to make a living for ourselves when all we have learned was the stress over homework and family? The depression over a failed test or assignment? The lost feeling of the lost time? How are we suppose to love ourselves when all we do is put yourself down because of school? This education system never prepared us for anything Instead, this education system officially has broken all of us.

Our Broken Education System
Our parents are always telling us , you have to go to school, that you'll learn everything you need to know before you're ready for the big world, and that'll you need it to get into your dream job But now a days our education isn't about learning, its about passing Our education now isn't the same as it used to be It teaches us that if you're not at a certain grade level, you will not succeed That if you don't meet a certain criteria, maybe you're not for fit the course This education system doesn't teach us whats really important for the big world It doesn't teach us how to live, how to do taxes or how to survive It never taught us the living expenses or how to buy a home Never taught us what to expect once we leave for college or how to balance our schedules No. It only taught us homework, about a plant cell, about tangents and circumferences It taught us that homework is more important than family That it's more important than being a kid and having a life It taught us that if you spend time with loved once and didn't do your work, you're setting yourself up for failure They pile us with work it feels like we cant breath They never once thought of the other class assignments that must be due not even 24 hours later They make us memorise things that will no longer be important when we apply for a job We study for hours in hopes to pass that final test that we'll soon forget But what are we suppose to say when someone asks us how we're feeling?

You cause a break inside my organs Pointing out my flaws our differences. You are at peace. I sit jittering, worrying what everyone will think of when I didn’t care you made me laugh at everything Changes.  You’re not right for me Nor I for you, but I can’t help Thinking What if?  Then I remember you’re not what nor Everything I want. You are an intellectual snob you have a depth about you I would love to delve in, a psychological study that even the best critics would praise, but I don’t want anyone else to have been there or ever go there. I cannot hold on to you tear me away while You’re haphazardly gluing us together We’re a kindergarten art project messy, trying to see Beauty within the confusion, unfinished     You asked me Where am I most at peace 4 years old.       I could be anything No fears I hadn’t been ripped apart. I was the girl that said everything, until I felt the need to screen my thoughts, like the filter you use to make your coffee each morning.  I wish that’s where I was, having you tell me that you like your women like your coffee Dark and bitter. I can look past your chauvinistic ways, not giving a **** about anyone. You’re not really closed minded You just act like it, which annoys the hell out of me Sometimes.  I wish life was simple.     But then I would never know your complexities nor Feel the things you help me feel, like hate for train whistles or the burn of gin hitting my throat. Music       you introduce me to offstage trumpets, bad movies.  Your politics, your brown eyes       and how you can hear frequencies that most everyone else can’t.  I worry that you hear the fear in my voice and heartbreak With every word I speak. When were you going to tell me? Or was that your plan all along? To throw me out like yesterday’s coffee grounds or cut up scraps Used and unwanted. I wish I could tell you to tell her you don’t want her but me instead, you don’t, I don’t want you to. I want holding hands, laughter comfort, personality, humor, intellect. You want that plus things I can’t give But you always take. You are your coffee disgusting, caffeinated, addicting the only patch that helps is comforting words you never spoke. We had many conversations of your desires, lusts, mistakes, but I was burned, by lies, distrust. You left, like always, a harsh, acidic aftertaste on my tongue.

~ *O Painter with thy own eye                         would thee paint me in mine own natural hue prithee paint me as i am, imperfections             and blemishes true Load thy brush                       with colors sundry to maketh yond first pure sweep across the ****** frieze, fill'd with pangs of hunger. paint me as i standeth                   bethought, in deep With mine own love and mine own desire, blurring the edges unclean with mine own regrets                   and mine own mental gyre, in mine own natural age,                of deep forest green O Painter Paint me sinister turquoise, in lavender and maroon, combine the amethyst and amber blend the iceberg        and the indigo moon.

As we sit down to our dinners, as we open our romance books, people die. We sip our water; their guts spill open. We study our notes; their planes crash. We live; they die. We breathe; they suffocate. We are testaments to chance, to luck, to possibility. We are not products of God. We are blind goats trotting on our path before we perish, suddenly, and vanish into death.

Who are we?
Smash, slash, and if you're a noob you spam. Video Games the most interactive experience ever, it brings out the best and worst out of all of us. Combos and controls to study, instead of trying to study for an upcoming test. Some people say video games turns your brain into mush, but studies show that video games actually help people in the real world. Oh how I love video games they let me experience things outside can't, and even though movie versions of games aren't that good, I never usually get disappointed with sequels. Video games create more than fun times, they have also helped create my identity. So thank you video games for making me who I am.

I could’ve woken you up in the morning and could’ve been the sun that rises even when we both live in a place where it never does. I could’ve taken you to museums, at least 2 of where I’ve been to. The first one, we’ll have to take the bus because I’d tell you that I’m too lazy to drive but for the second one, I will tell you that I’ll drive you there. My car would look at me as though it knows that there is another soul seating in the passenger seat – it was no longer some books, a box of pizza, or my dog. I could’ve taken photos of you in that place, post them everywhere but subtly so that they can see that there are at least 2 forms of art in that photo — the one you’re looking at and the one I’m looking at. I could’ve talked to you at night under the stars, in the same rooftop where I told you that I liked the cathartic experience of doing just what we could’ve done; the same rooftop where you talked about your life, at least some pieces of it. I could’ve brought you to where I used to study. We could’ve walked the halls that stared at me for being too alone and too lonely only so I could tell them, “Hey, here he is, finally.” and they could’ve smiled at me because they know how long the longing lasted. We could’ve taken a stroll in the shade of the trees or could’ve had a picnic there while watching the joggers and the sunset. I could’ve introduced you to my friends – they’ve been meaning to meet you. They too know how long I’ve been stuck on an island by myself. They know who I was when I was eleven and when I was sixteen and I bet, if you gave them a chance, you could’ve heard the crazy things we did. And maybe they could’ve liked you. They could’ve told me how lucky I was and probably would’ve warned me that if I hurt you, they’d stick with you instead of me. I could’ve introduced you to my family — my mom liked you even then. I could’ve introduced you to my little brother who I would consider as the biggest and most important judge of character because I believe that children can sense goodness in people and he could’ve seen that in you. I could’ve written you letters, could’ve left random little tokens I would've used for all the words I cannot muster to say. I could’ve played the piano for you even if I just know, at most, 3 songs; even though I don’t really know how to read notes at all. I could’ve introduced you to the artists I like and I could’ve known more of yours. I could’ve listened to them and I would have had to remember you every time. I could’ve held your hand, could’ve eaten brunch with you, could’ve read you a poem. I could’ve loved you — could have – if I was the given the chance. But, I was and I could’ve used it but I didn’t.

Because Today is the Last Day
I could’ve woken you up in the morning and could’ve been the sun that rises even when we both live in a place where it never does. I could’ve taken you to museums, at least 2 of where I’ve been to. The first one, we’ll have to take the bus because I’d tell you that I’m too lazy to drive but for the second one, I will tell you that I’ll drive you there.

I think it's crazy that they want me to type an essay over deforestation for a score or practice or to better my writing. That's 60 more minutes I'm wasting of my life. They say that sooner or later everything we do we will do with technology. So here I am now writing this essay that's supposed to be about deforestation and the effects and consequences. We are not discussing the issue. We are sitting in wooden chairs with our computers sitting on our wooden desks surrounded by wooden bookcases. So much irony right? I seem to be the only one to notice anyways. We come here seven hours a day, do hours of homework, "study" the information, aka memorize regurgitate then forget all of it. This is not teaching us. We are not learning anything useful to help us live. It's all numbers and words that do not matter to me. If anyone thinks that all us kids come to school to learn they're wrong and if they think that the teachers come to teach they're even more wrong. We come to pass class after class so we can leave and actually make something of ourselves. The teachers come because they have to for the money. They do not care about us or our feelings. They put all this pressure on us to be the best we can be which really means make a good grade. I've been silent for so long now. Not expressing my feelings towards much of anything. Also toward the reason I have to wake up at five every morning to be around people I do not even like. I feel as though the education system is unfair and cruel and does not take into consideration what the kids who go through this cycle everyday think. So that's what I think about deforestation.

You've asked me what the lobster is weaving there with his golden feet? I reply, the ocean knows this. You say, what is the ascidia waiting for in its transparent bell? What is it waiting for? I tell you it is waiting for time, like you. You ask me whom the Macrocystis alga hugs in its arms? Study, study it, at a certain hour, in a certain sea I know. You question me about the wicked tusk of the narwhal, and I reply by describing how the sea unicorn with the harpoon in it dies. You enquire about the kingfisher's feathers, which tremble in the pure springs of the southern tides? Or you've found in the cards a new question touching on the crystal architecture of the sea anemone, and you'll deal that to me now? You want to understand the electric nature of the ocean spines? The armored stalactite that breaks as it walks? The hook of the angler fish, the music stretched out in the deep places like a thread in the water? I want to tell you the ocean knows this, that life in its jewel boxes is endless as the sand, impossible to count, pure, and among the blood-colored grapes time has made the petal hard and shiny, made the jellyfish full of light and untied its knot, letting its musical threads fall from a horn of plenty made of infinite mother-of-pearl. I am nothing but the empty net which has gone on ahead of human eyes, dead in those darknesses, of fingers accustomed to the triangle, longitudes on the timid globe of an orange. I walked around as you do, investigating the endless star, and in my net, during the night, I woke up naked, the only thing caught, a fish trapped inside the wind.

why are so many things so tempting? why do people let their hearts rule their hands rule their mouths rule their minds why do I? I can't control my hands, my words my mind the seduction is there every step of the time the rules the lines they all become blurred and all my thoughts just whirl and stir a cesspit of temptation to do things I shouldn't to do things that would hurt others but make life easier, to disobey the rules I've followed my entire life don't spend too much time reading and study instead the seduction is there pulling along changing my ways making everyday a little harder but a little bit better a cruel mistress with   the best of intentions

Intense Workout I try to workout diligently, at least 3 times a week, the muscles are tight and strong, I'm certainly no geek, I pump the iron, walk the track, listen to my tunes, but lately I've been distracted, watching for ms June She's quite the lovely lady, recently moved to this place, she is French, with sweet accent, puts smiles on my face, vous êtes l'homme élégant she says to me, her eyes sparkle bright, I have no idea what that means, so I just smile with delight sometimes she reaches out, and touches me on my arm, de tels forts muscles she says, and this makes me warm, I need to study French I guess, so I won't look the fool, for all I know, there is a chance, she is calling me a tool the thing that's bad about this all, is I work out way too long, trying to impress this girl, make her think I am King Kong, now my muscles are getting sore, I'm working way to hard, if I keep this up much more, I'll be searching for my doctor's card Gomer LePoet...

I know it's just been a week But I'm already beginning to miss you And I'm not the only one You do make an impact On anyone who has been lucky enough To get to know you Whether it be family or friends Or maybe even total strangers! Anyway, we've had some great times together I shall never forget our trip to the UK And the fun we had there Especially the Wimbledon camping experience Would you have believed me then If I had told you That you would end up returning there to study In a matter of three years? Mysterious indeed, are the ways In which Fate works Our trip to USA was equally memorable Who will ever forget that iconic moment When you identified a McDonald's cafe from the plane? Nothing, absolutely nothing ever Escapes those beady eyes of yours This is one of the many things I love about you We may not spend a lot of time talking to each other But you understand me very well Perhaps more than I understand myself And I know that I can always count on you Anyway, I am getting too sentimental Have a good time out there I'm sure you'll find new friends In fact, as I write this You seem to be making progress on that front already Try to balance studies and housework as much as you can And most importantly Take care of yourself Whatever problems you might face Know that you're not alone We have your back always, no matter what It is your happiness Rather than what course you do Or what job you may find That matters to us the most So, on that note Let me wish you all the very best Take care and stay in touch Miss you loads

No accounting for taste. What you dislike and called a waste is what I like. You call cheese,honey I called it bitter pill. You prefer a monkey while chimp makes me chill. You like worshipping sun I love worshipping God It really fun you called mine odd. I lived in tradition You lived in modernity But in addition I lived in christianity. You urged me to study biology I urged you to learn Shakespeare You want me to live by astrology Let poetry be your spear. You prefer winter that is your choice Mine is summer when I'll rejoice. When you lay on your bunk, you hear the music,rock but I listen to punk who should be given a sock? You love a black lady with long dark hair I love a white baby to be my heir. You desire democracy as system of your government I desire theocracy it had the best management. Let us be a union Let there be chaste Let's tolerate each one's opinion for no accounting for taste.

NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTE
Depression. One word. Pretty easy to say. But what you don’t know Is that it controls my day. The sun rises as I go to get out of bed yet depression whispers “You’d be better off dead.” But I push through those words and I make it to class when it comes to concentration, depression kicks me in the *** So I go to eat lunch, but nothing looks appetizing depression smiles at me and asks if that’s surprising Another class, let’s see how this one goes Will I pass this test? Only depression really knows Cause last night when I went home and tried to study depression was surely there, my only buddy And although I tried to do my absolute best depression said, “I think we’ll fail this test.” My teachers look at me in absolute disgust I try to tell the truth, but depression doesn’t let me trust So instead I say I’m sick, a cold or maybe the flu But I’m sick inside my head, and depression proves that true You can’t expect them to understand the pain and the sorrow This depression is unique to me, you’d only know if my mind you could borrow But back to my daily routine, I didn’t mean to digress sometimes my thoughts start racing, depression never lets me rest Which leads me to sleep, for some the best part of the night Dear depression, will you let me sleep? Maybe, I just might Then I look at the clock and it’s almost four in the morning Depression, why are you doing this? In my mind it’s nearly storming For most are in their beds, cuddled up all snug and tight But depression sowed up early this morning, so I have to be ready to fight Some have called me strong, but that is not how I feel for depression clouds my head, and I’m not sure what’s real And there it is again, the sun has stared to rise I’ve made it through another day, to depression, that’s a surprise.

*study *your defined mounds and dipping hips,, lips and heated soles, to ascertain that your mine willingly, you're alive, still mine, to have and hold, not to be me, a left~behind* *for you in and ex, hale~hail me not, you chest. convex nor concave, if it gives, lives, moves, my eyes,     mine wetted eyes cannot discern, and the precious stillness I do so adore cherish, contaminated by notions of you having perished* + *it, is wished hard away, wished hard it may disappear, a sigh. a groan, a puzzling moan, anything even a sudden dreaming scream, to confirm that our heat still can be all merged, so that your light sleeper schema cannot be touched and thus defeated, so I write an only love poem, and sign it with tears of a cursed quiet streaming, clouded, most unliterary, but always with a super silent adoration, of, for* she, who cannot be disturbed

when in the stillness, I cannot hear your breathing
The girl who would rather spend her Friday night at home organizing her room than at the parties. The girl who would rather curl up and read at lunch than sit and socialize over talk of nothing but "people". The girl who would rather drown out the world with music than sit in class and be involved. The girl who would rather work alone and finish her homework in class, than sit in the big social groups making weekend plans. The girl who would rather be independent and be judged as a loner than be friends with people who will secretly judge you. The girl who would rather collect books and records than makeup. The girl who would rather study astrology than watch every show on Netflix. The girl who would rather thrift shop and buy $3.99 boots than buy top of the line $80 boots. The girl who realizes that all of this does not make her any better than them. The girl that realizes she is only trying to impress herself; confidence is key.

If you give a girl a with a big heart your broken pieces, she will gently pick them up and carry them in her soft hands, and pay no mind to your sharp edges. She will try to glue you back together and she’ll do it in a way that made you forget you were ever broken. With scratched finger tips and ****** palms, she’ll lift you up to the sun, letting it's blinding rays shine through you to show you that even the worst things have things to love in them and that even the shattered can again be whole. If you give a girl with a big heart your body, she will study you like an archaic God. She will learn your curves and surfaces like braille, she will adjust her hearing to the pitch of your laughter so that no matter how far apart you become, her ears will perk up like a dog's when you giggle, and she will smile, knowing that you smile. If you give a girl with a big heart your time, she will make each second feel like infinity, and each sunset like the end of the world. You'll forget that the universe is as vast and wondrous as it is, because you will be so captivated by the light that she emits right where she sits, by your side. And if you take from a girl with a big heart, please, for the love of God, do not take it all. If you take from a girl with a big heart, please remember that her love is not a renewable resource. The wind and the sun and the water will forever be there to serve you but she will run dry, and become another fact of history that will one day be forgotten. If you take from a girl with a big heart, please remember how sharp your edges were before her, how lifeless your body was before she touched it, and how meaningless time was before she made it into something magical.

I saw the old man circling the tree trunk Weather beaten skin, bent gnarled hands and piercing blue eyes He seemed to study every knot and crack in that ancient timber Then without a word turned and picked up hammer and chisel The wood chips then began to fly and like confetti on the ground lie soon in heaps some ankle high Occasionally he would stand back and look but never once a rest he took Mallet strokes both hard and soft some from under some aloft fell there with unerring skill always busy never still Long into the night he worked now by the light of an oil lamp and so the tree stump 'neath his hand then became a work of art At long last he stood and turned to me and said three words " that'll do lad" I approached to see just what he'd done and there I saw the perfect rose every petal and leaf in place the slender stems in the breeze did sway With no plan or picture he had made the start And created the perfect work of art. So what is creativity? Well that's your next challenge. No love poems because they've been done a million times. This time something unique

Creativity
a half line incomplete stanza an unrhymed sentence well defined trauma the poet's thought uncaptured on the paper many drafts and crushed papers around the study there is a lot same thoughts and some sought no process little sense world of words and many buds more time needed to bloom and here comes the start of coming doom.

Unfinished business
A catalyst is a chemical that speeds up reactions. At least that’s what I learned in chemistry class. Catalysts sometimes are the major factors in a reactions and without them, The reaction could never happen. Catalyst can be lab chemicals, alcohol, drugs, coffee even, or a person. While lounging around one afternoon you were talking physics And I turned it on your head and spoke of chemistry, Knowing full well that I was speaking of our personal chemistries. You were right, the physics of a relationship gives us the laws, But CHEMISTRY can predict the outcome. If you do the math and follow the directions, you can determine the product without even doing the experiment. Unless the reaction you are creating has never been attempted before by the scientists preforming the experiment. They can flip through the books, Read the essays, Study the theorems, Even attempt the calculations, But if they don’t do the actual experiment, They will never find their outcome. Some things need a push, A catalyst, For them to form a bond, React, And combine into a stable combination. Hypotheses must be TESTED, ACCEPTED, and RATIFIED Before becoming a law. No matter how based in logic your hypothesis might be, You need the universe and its fundamental laws to back it up. There are still surprises left in the universe. Maybe you and I can be one of them.

Catalyst for Change
Exams are a great fear, Less marks,no one can bear Exams are like ghosts, During exams,our mind gets roast Exams are full of studies, Everyone gets tensed even the WhatsApp buddies No one laughs, no one plays, Empty roads empty ways Study study study, Exams are on the way

~~~Exams-a fear~~~
My friends describe me as a man of few verbal words. Funnily, the words are chosen poorly for someone who thinks so much about what a person should and shouldn't say. Last year, a classmate told me she would get at least three words out of me before our study group quit for the night. I responded,”You lose”.
