School Girl

A Poem by Holly O'Brien

Release from this cage that has me bound/
Where doorbells ring but no one ever welcomes you/
Where teachers teach but never listen/
Release me from this cage, this institution that kills you if you fall out of line, that single file that distinguishes the strong from the weak/ 
Where if you speak, they only hear who's speaking louder, who memorizes the best, they are smarter/
Where difference is not unique but a sickness that is contagious unless it is corrected/

My escape is through the route of my genius, which has not been taught what or how to think but it is oblivious and only knows how to seek beauty, and it creates beauty where there is none/ 
For in an institution there is none until you step outside...
