School Days Poem by Sam Dale

My alarm starts ringing
With my head on the pillow
My body starts stinging
Today I don’t think I’m going to make
Lipstick, eye shadow, makeup
I’m just going to fake it
Everyday seems never ending
Schools a drag with
Math and sport and comprehending
I feel like I am reliving the worst day ever
Every day I am in that prison
They say that one day it will make us clever
I feel like my life is passing by
The holidays just won’t come and
It makes me want to cry
I am living through a nightmarish dream
I can’t take much more
I just want to scream
Yesterday I failed an exam
Today won’t be better
And tomorrow I know I am minced ham
My real life is gone forever
I trade them in for canteen and popularity
Balance in this place, never
Lunch time gossip and recess fights
Making this place hell
There is no freedom and no rights
I go home on the 3: 05 bell
I have a story
Every day has something new to tell
I go back to bed and get some rest
When I awake I do it all again
I hope school is just a test.
