The school bell rang
and my eyes were bloodshot red
like a bleeding sunset
It was another hopeless day
Devoured up by paper hell
New ditto here and new ditto there
until I just gave up
and took a bathroom pass
so that I could get high again
It was the only plausible escape
The great escape
that took me away
from this fenced up prison
Sure I could cut school
but I tend to just live through it
with chemical induced smiles and laughter
This is the only way
that I could live through the same thing day by day

Sadly I think you've described how many kids cope today. Nice job. Sincerely, Mary
