What defined me
as who I was
are out of sight
kicked out of my life.
who I've always been
is forgotten in my mind
but still, kept in my heart
who I am today
is a riddle to solve
in my depths I find
the love I have inside.
yet I feel confined
lost behind the glasses
of society's view.
education to learn
books and notes
Statistics to know
how everything works
but the school of life
made me want to smile
taught me to reflect
rather than expect and reject
taught me to sense
wrong from right
made me want to try
to make a change that last
but how can I complete
this education that I need
when everything about school
feels so wrong, that I'm about
to judge, the teacher as a fool.
how can a teacher
teach me what I need
when I'm not even willing
to listen from the heart?
Willing to truly start.
how can a person grow
if it doesn't even know
How to let go.
