When life gives you lemons, make grape juice then sit back and let the work wonder how you did it.

The days are long
And are getting hard.
I am no longer strong,
For each rule I am barred.
Why do rules make it this way?
Easier things should be,
When our freedom they take away
Never again to be free.
If free we are meant,
Then why now are we not.
Only minor freedoms we are lent.
To be mindless we are taught.
School is meant to teach,
But less we tend to know.
Why has school begun to reach
This state of low?

The author's comments:
School was so irritating to me once. What with all the rules and requlations. I am glad I am out of those types of schools now.

It wasn't said by me, but my favorite quote is: "Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves." - Brendan Francis
