Educational Insanity

I hate school

I hate how I am judged so harshly,

My passions are dying

My patience is thinning,

Every paper I write for my assignments feels muted, a drab

Every paragraph I read out of a textbook feels empty, dust-covered,

My calendar is filled with due dates and deadlines, objective grades of a subjective topic

My life is no longer mine, but an institution thousands of miles away,

I hate that I dread logging onto my courses

I hate that panic builds just thinking of it now,

I used to like school, you know?

I used to love showing off the pieces of art I wrote

Every creation was enough, full of life,

Every lecture filled my head with knowledge, urging me to push forward

My studies were sacred,

My heart craved dedication

I loved proving I could do better,

I loved education
