You can see the warmth of outside 

but will never feel it. 

Little kids having fun

you're envy of their freedom.

A ride is so close to you 

but leaves before you reach it.

A sign says EXIT 

but you can never leave.

Wathching your every move

they make sure you follow the rules.

Fences and railings surround us

treating us as if we're animals.

Brick and steel built this place, 

preventing us from ever breaking it.

Teachers taunt us as they leave

driving away as fast as they can.

As the bell sounds, we run out the doors

excited to finally be out.

Sadness follows as you realize

we have to come back tomorrow.
