I live in a world
Where if you don't understand a problem
You're screwed
A world where
staying up all night is normal
In fact
It's necessary
A world where
Asking questions
is a bad thing
because it makes you look dumb
A world
where perfect is unachievable
Where everything that is touched
turns to flame then dust
Just to dance mockingly away
with the wind and the sun
It goes in such a way
that it is if it is saying
"Have fun in this world. I cannot stay. I'm going to other worlds to dance."
I would like to dance
But I live in a world
with bars on the window
Highly unnecessary the bars
For how could I escape
a world
of my own creation?

I actually wrote this because I couldn't understand some homework but it became something greater than that. I surprised myself looking back at it. This poem taught me something about myself that I never even knew.
