The ones who don't quite fit

In the dark corners of classrooms,
We huddle, hearts heavy with woes,
In a world of rigid rules and dull lectures,
Where our spirits wither like forgotten rose.

We're the ones who don't quite fit,
In a system built for conformity's sake,
Where individuality is seen as a flaw,
And our dreams are deemed a mistake.

But here in the shadows, we find solace,
Amongst kindred spirits who understand,
That the struggle to survive in school,
Is a battle fought hand in hand.

For every tear shed over failed tests,
And every whispered plea for escape,
We gather our strength from each other,
And cling to the hope we can reshape.

We want to learn in ways that light our souls,
To follow paths that speak to our hearts,
To trust in our intuition's whispers,
And embrace the wisdom it imparts.

So here's to the misfits and rebels,
The ones who refuse to conform,
For in our resistance lies resilience,
And in our struggles, we find our form.

Let us hold fast to our dreams,
And stand tall in our truth,
For in the darkness of school,
We'll find the strength to break through.
