School

Getting up at 6:00 am to cath your bus
Its your first day of kindergarten!
"Excuse me, teacher.  I cant figure out how to write my 'g'"
Your in 1st grade
"Now everyone get your cursive books out."
halfway through 3rd
Good job! you passed elementary school!
on to 5th
then 6, 7, 8 and you doing just great
but when the cliques start to form and the grades start to drop.
Its not so great after all.
trying to figure out who you are and where your headed isn't as easy as trying to figure out a lower case 'g'
Its more complicated than that.
Its highschool.
In high school teachers aren't as nurturing as they used to be.
Its cold, and lonely.
Its when all your friends go different ways and your just stuck in the middle.
The bell rings at 3:30 and the rush of kids flood the hallway
And your in a mix of 3,000 kids but you feel more lonely than ever.
You go through the motions. 
Get up, go to school, homework, repeat.
Its not actually living-its just..school.
