I had no idea.

Analyse The Impact
At the end of the day
You're scored by quality not quantity
That's what you said
Throwing paper at us
With questions and lines
As if the thin black stripes with blank space in-between are to guide us
I am unguided
Scored by my lack of memory
Graded by my indecency
This will be my last winter here
I'm tired of breaking down
I've tried breaking down
And don't give me fucking sympathy
This is not a guilt trip
I do not know the answer
And they sit beside me and write their accurate ideas but,
Our elbows rest on the same wooden plate
And we eat our words
And you chew on our thoughts
No, I do not think you are the devil
But hell is much warmer than this room
Pencils rush to fill papers
Pushed by the hands of you and I
Their grey tips leave stories
Are you reading my story ?
Or are you grading it?
Only 17 years old
I have a lot to live for
Much to learn
I need to lose things, find people
Scare myself,
Scar myself
Leave this, learn that
But don't you dare tell me I don't know what it's like out there
I suppose I'm making it seem like you're the accuser
I'm just writing this as I go along, really
My bitten fingernails and stained skin doesn't do me much justice
With the breath of a child, I am still innocent
But with the body of a woman, I am not an untouched freckled bath
The room beside us is laughing through the hour
Quiet in our hour
We are hard workers in this hour
So I'd like you to do this for me
Analyse the impact
What do these words do for you ?
