They told me to be okay when I felt like dying that day,

the place where I thought I could earn an education,
became the place where I had lost all motivation.
I was a kid who was sick and couldn’t get any help,
the teachers who I thought would be the ones to push me where the ones drowning me as I yelled.
The questions that were left unanswered lay unresponsive as I was told it wasn’t enough,
that I should give up because I was the issue and I felt unloved.
I looked around corners and under hallways of which the words were mocked by kids as I was gone, maybe It was me and I was the one that was wrong all along.
I tried my hardest and made myself look like I was tough enough to get through the day ,
but little did I not know that it would never be enough and that I couldn’t pass in anyway.
Pushing me away I tried to stay afloat on this boat called life,
everything trying to push me down telling me I need to fix my health and life.
Little did the school help and mend the bruises made on me,
This is a little part of a story of which I decided to get my GED.
My heart is broken to the fact that everyone is disappointed of a girl who would drop out,
but could you blame me when no one bothered to care and help me out.
This story is true and disappointing as you can see,
but this is how I came to the point in my life,
were an education system is selfish as can be.
