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.

It is not that I hate school
by Bob JonesIt is not that I hate school
I just hate the forced doctrine of learning
I cannot wrap my mind around its everholding views
I search for peace in such despair
but can find none
they don't understand
they don't care
I might as well not be there
but it is my place, I am not a quitter
giving up only shows they've won
I will stand to the end
I will not be confromed
to their walls of lies
my mind is far from theirs
my thoughts, not theirs
I will dream
I will not fail
their pain and torture will not control me
it will only strengthen my will
my will to live as I dream
to find the understanding that I need
as I stand now, on the threshold of knowledge
at the door, that seperates my ways from theirs
do I cross into my own
or do I stay to be conformed
the choice is mine
and everyone at that point in their lives
the decision is hard
it will affect my future
but do I choose the way of the world
or create my own
I will falter
I will stumble
but the end will bring me much joy
the joy the world is lacking
they will call me stupid
and dumb
but that is ok
I have chosen my way
the narrow path
FOR I WILL PREVAIL, because I have what the others are lacking
and that is the will of determination...
