The happy place

How delusional are they at school for expecting the children to feel enthusiastic about biology

When they don’t even want to be at school in the first place

When they weren’t even asked

To be put into this world

To be put into school

How can you expect enthusiasm of all things?? Under such circumstances

I remember when we had Reading at school

There were serious authors who wrote about one thing while meaning another

And none of these were of any interest to me

Why would I care about what it means to be a human,

They smothered my fire

And put on there a bucket of water

There were years before the fireplace of my soul was dried enough to light the flames anew!!

With whatever sustenance

Whatever

Conan the cimmerian pleae

And now I like this author they made me read about in my youth

Despite going to school

Most of my accomplishments in life are despite having gone to school

No not ”thanks to”

And NO

I’m not thankful for school

I know not everyone has this privilege

It’s maybe just me

Like a letter

In the postal terminal

Getting stuck in the sorting machine

Because it didn’t quite fit

Ripped to shreds
