Le Stress Dans L'Education

I cannot stress enough how much this stress is stressing me out Stresssssssssssss Extra stress on the last S Because it just became unbearable Bearing depression and anxiety in his arms, shirt tucked and hair combed to the T Mr. Education System waltzed into my life and Introducing himself as Mr. E See what i thought was teeth in his smile Was actually deciet and for a while I was fooled. So when he introduced me to his older brother S And his younger sister A I was excited because they seemed cool And this was the beginning of my big mistake I'm in form 1 now and everywhere I look I see a new face New work, new teachers and everything at a new pace So I pace myself But I'm here to confess The entire year I was frozen in work like a bust But I managed to adjust And somehow past my first end of year test I'm in form 2 now and I just found a new clique Cuz the entire class just divided and apparently you have to be cautious where you speak So I stressed over finding me a group A group where I belong because I'm in form 2 now And a social life determines whether you weak or strong Oh finally I'm in form 3 and introduced to Ms. NCSE I never felt stress like this before I don't even know what breakfast is anymore I just wake up and drink tea cuz This school thing changed my appetite to an appetighter Destroying my body allnighter after allnighter after allnighter In form 4 I learnt in order to get success you must first get depressed. And so I made school my drug and I made sure I got hooked. See I'm constantly crushed under everyone's high expectations for me when the only thing higher is my stack of books. Studying 30 hours a day but aren't there only supposed to be 24? I can't take this school thing anymore I go to class and cry at the door I'm sore. Mentally and financially because every term is a new list But ofc I'm buying it because I turn those pages into chains and shackles and secured them around my ankles and wrists I'm not even going address form 5 because I was dead inside for most of it. I survived it all just to gain Mr. E's approval I got all my passes and now suppsed to be finalizing my removal But I pause And i sign up for form 6 Because I'm hooked to this lifestyle that's way too broken to fix I'm standing and looking at my life from now to way back when I used to dance in drapes Mentally readying myself for my new inamorata Ms. CAPE
