all has seaped into my veins

[RavinRaych]

School Days
Boredom has seaped into my veins
My eyes drop to the floor
"Education (brain washing) is important"
Take away our youth
Our Freedom
For 18 years of our lives
Erase our memories
Replaced with societies beliefs
Once we were children
Full of hope, happiness
Oblivion
But we were forced to sleep
When we were full of energy
Now forced to stay awake
To sit our days away
Learning useless information
They say knoweledge is power
Well i have learned,
I've learned to rebel
To become something more
more than a prisoner of this society
A student in this school...
Ah
The bell rings
The slaves run free
Only to wake up the next day
And be locked up again.
slaves
prisoners
gotta break away.
Freedom
How can i get away?
-----------------
Someone please tell me that school is just another necessary obstacle to redeem my freedom

Once we were children
Full of hope, happiness

Did you ever wish that you could have just one moment, where you can stop and say "Everything in my life is fine." Not one worry, not one thing going wrong, everything blissful, or even just content, for one mere moment? I can't remember the last time I had a moment like that. A lot of times i wish i could just go back to my childhood, where i didn't have to worry about bills, about making rent on time, about being late for work, about getting a 4.0 in school, about my relationship not falling apart...
This is a line from Poltergeist 3, something Tangina says:
"The only gift we are given in life is our innocence. All else must be fought for."

Find one person you can count on forever, one person you can love forever, and one person you can be with forever... and if you're lucky, it will all be the same person.
"Live for the memories."

Yeah, as the song jumper says "i wanna get myself back in again, the soft dive of oblivion". I feel like my childhood consisted of oblivion, and i loved every second of it.

Yes and No.
Sometimes, I miss oblivion too. I thought about that last night - at the weekly at my favorite club, on the dance floor, and even completely sober just the energy of the DJ and the crowd and the lights and my body dancing was enough to erase anything but that moment from my mind. And I thought how nice it would be to have that feeling all the time.
But the price we pay for the loss of it is feeling love, and the bittersweetness of friendships gone bad and then turned right again, and those perfect moments when you know your broken heart has started to heal...and nights like last night where knowing that you just have those seven hours to live like your problems don't exist make those seven hours a million times sweeter than if you didn't know what the alternative was.
Beautiful words RR. I love reading your stuff.

i'm right there with you. hang in there, it will be over soon.
can't take credit for this but it's true:
education -> .
everything else -> .................................................................................................................................................................................

my senior quote:
do you remember the days gone past?
and how we wanted the good times to last?
the time we spent hanging out
is how we learnd what life was about...
all we had was our dreams,
that's all we needed to be free.
- the bouncing souls
i think it applies well in this situation.

The important thing to realize is that the education is not the end in and of itself...it is the process in which you learn to open your mind to things previously unknown. It is up to you which things you hold and which you let go. But the atmosphere you were in, then ways you learned to deal with people in a microchasm of society will stay with you.
e-girl...there are always so many things that we feel we have to worry about. When the worry itself outweighs the benefits of that which the things we are worrying about provide, then it is time to let some things go...
