"The best and most wonderful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched they must be felt with the heart." -Helen Keller


I sit alone

in the cold,

windowless classroom.

The yellow tinted lights

press down on me

draining my creative abilities,

clogging my mind

with thoughts of walking away.

Like a hamster on a wheel, my brain

spins faster than the fan

rocking against

the brown-stained ceiling.

I want people to realize how corrupt the education system is and how it destroys our artistic minds.
