Its a sick twist of a so-called "life".
We're sent to a brick building,
Contained
To become who we are
Meant to be...forever.
We listen to robots with a pulse just to become
Robots with a pulse and a desire.
We're supposed to know what this
Desire is?
How can we know if we spend 8 hours
Locked up, with a desire to be
Free.
Fucking freedom defines us.
We get 5-minute passing periods and a
Lunch break for "freedom".
Do you not see this contradiction?
We go to school to learn about the
"Outside world", as if we aren't ready for it.
We were put here to live.
We were put here to live.
After 12 years being cooped up,
Hidden from the world by bricks, parents, and textbooks,
Do you really think we'll know what to do when we're
Without them?
Birds have wings to fly, but we have...
Teachers?
Birds taught themselves to fly.
Our brains are far more capable of
Learning to fly on our own, yet a creature as small as
Our hands is given that responsibility.
Hey, assholes, if this is learning for our own good,
Why do we suffer?
Why do we have to take medication to succeed?
Why do we have levels and grades, just to bring us down?
Why do we have detention...are you looking for an in-mate?
Fuck society if I can't be in a real one.
I'm not saying I am not grateful.
I appreciate what I have learned.
But freedom of speech is simply not enough.
How about freedom of our
Minds to let them take our
Bodies to where our
Souls want to be?

this is so true. i really enjoy learning but not the way schools are set up, where everyone is supposed to learn the same thing and be good at all the same things. i want to be an artist but i was only seriously taught art in the past couple years, when for the history of my life i have been taught knowledge that may be useful to some but not to me at all. this year(scheduling for the next year) is the only year where i have actually been able to pick classes that interest me. btw i do go to new trier
ReplyDeleteyeah, im scheduling too...
ReplyDeletewe go to the same school.
hahahahah
yeah i'm picking classes for senior year and there are actually interesting classes, like philosophy, psychology, and art history.i don't know why we couldn't take these earlier
