Dear the Education Sytem
Dear the education system,
You have so many faults, let's list them,
First mental illness, creeps through your gates,
We all need help now, before it's too late
Our classrooms are dirty, conquered with disease,
And we're meant to pass our exams with ease?
The textbooks are heavy, in weight and in money,
Breaking our backs like the pressure to study,
We have no free time to relax and unwind,
And when we are off, our parents get fined,
We scream out to God "Please give us a break!",
I lose so much sleep, i can't stay awake,
Yet somehow these things have us to blame,
"Just go to bed early", well that was the aim!
But instead i had heaps of homework to do,
Writing and writing, with a side of tears too,
I walk into school, everyday drained,
I cry every night, these things don't change,
My mental health has reached an all time low,
The chains i call school need to let me go,
We all get called overdramatic,
Do you really expect me to be ecstatic?
With no sex ed and no real-life skills,
No wonder teens are taking the pills,
So education system, please help us out,
Because we don't know how we're gonna turn out,
That is if we turn out at all,
I keep losing your battles, i'm tired and torn
