As I sit here in my classroom...

I sit here at the Back bench,
Staring into the wall,
Everyday is a fight, 
To set my life right,
I am restless Inside,
Its pinching me hard

The teacher is a blur,
Educatonz a metaphor,
The system is unsure, 
At gossips I am poor,
So, I sit here in the lot,
Look, my situation is so bad

Then I walk back home,
Only to atone, I am alone,
I am into a quick sand,
I am tired, I sleep on my hand,
I wake up at the dark hour,
Where life feels like an empty tour,
The clock is ticking,
My inability is sickening

Then comes a new dawn,
All I do is yawn,
I feel so complacent,
I have learnt to be patient,
Life is a tie,
And I am gonna die,
As I sit here at the back bench,
Staring into the wall.........
