Two Worlds

Left alone
On shore 
In door
Left needing
Not seeing
Only being
Left kneeling
Not feeling
Bell ringing

Chalkboard

Crying right
Feeling wrong
Different now
Different then
Can’t see
Nor be
Crying alone
Tears come
Tears go

Bully

Surrounded together
True friends?
Not all
Some care
For me
Fair weather
Dark clouds
Raining sideways
Always Monday

Elementary

Simple plan
Go wrong
Turn right
Look up
Not down
Turn around
Spin, spin
Dizzy delight
Control yourself
I’ve none

Fool

Getting an education wasn't just about the reading, writing and arithmetic. More like floundering to become part of the rat race where it's "Always Monday" . Fool, sums it up nicely.
