That Question

What I love about school?  
School is… yea.  
Through trench-like conditions,
 where survival is suffocating.  
On the outside, education is key. 
On the inside, it is an episode 
from the last day on earth, where popularity determines your success in school,
not how smart or educated you are.  
But… there are those rainy days, 
when we huddle up in groups like little penguins, seeking warmth, connection, feeling.  
Those days are nice. Comforting.
