Has school destroyed your creativity and self-confidence? I'm working on a book called Recovering From School, to help you heal the damage caused.

Educational Spirit

Independence won’t be found in the lesson plan here
To those in charge you must listen, obey, and fear

Silencing my voice by choking me with lies
All I can do is tear as you feed off of my cries

Now that my voice has been stolen and torn apart
All of my pleas for fairness and honesty now depart

Now in your mind you have only your own self serving views
You are in denial so you feel no guilt while you scar and bruise

You demand our respect while you don’t give us yours
You laugh while we struggle in our own personal wars

You have fun tearing our aspirations to shreds
We try to fight as your venomous deceit spreads

I refuse to surrender to this terrible selected fate
Even as you lash out at me with your undying hate
