Let’s Homeschool (PC)

First day of middle school
Girl with rapturous hanging hair
Blonde; scarred, scared into suicide
Poking her flesh with sharp objects
Screaming for freedom from life
Freedom for death
“Who is that?” my mothers asks
But no one answers
Even though they know
Because their freedom
It’s a blind mindless one
They want no freedom
From schools’ deadly life without living
The death is the life and the life is the death
Because there is no difference
For them
3:05,
It’s all over
Girl is forgotten
It was a mostly special day
And most children were happy
In the school today;
In a world we portray
As a living one
The world of school
The schoolworld
Welcome to our planet
