Foreign Language
It's more like a foreign language,
than knowledge I've been studying.
Comprehending WWI?
I'm just pretending.
In class,
I sit in the back
count the ceiling tiles
-78 to be exact.
read the cheesy posters,
scattered around the room
-"Learning is fun!"
Lied the sign.
And most often,
I doze through this discipline academy.
With a reoccurring head bang
to my desk full of drool.
It's not that I don't want prosperity.
To be rich, and have a full good life.
I just don't get it.
It's like a foreign language
more than my primary one it reads.
The teacher is lying to me.
I don't understand.
I will ask a stupid question,
and when I do,
all bats eyes
darted at me.
I sneak under my desk
hide my face with my hair
and my emotions with a smile.
No one can know I'm suffering,
not anyone at all.
